Exotic Pressure-Driven Band Gap Widening in Carbon Chain-Filled KFI Zeolite and Its Pathway to High-Pressure Semiconducting Electronics and High-Temperature Superconductivity
This paper reports the discovery of pressure-induced band gap widening in carbon-chain-filled KFI zeolite and the synthesis of ultra-long cumulene chains within this framework, which exhibit a record-breaking superconducting transition temperature of approximately 62 K, offering new pathways for high-pressure semiconducting electronics and high-temperature superconductivity.
