Stabilization and electronic topological transition of hydrogen-rich metal Li5MoH11 under high pressures from first-principles predictions

Abstract Regarded as doped binary hydrides, ternary hydrides have recently become the subject of investigation since they are deemed to be metallic under pressure and possibly potentially high-temperature superconductors. Herein, the candidate structure of Li5MoH11 is predicted by exploiting the evo...
