  • This structure was found by first-principles electronic structure calculations and is predicted to be the stable structure of H$_{2}$S for pressures $> 140$ GPa. At 160 GPa it is predicted to be a conventional superconductor with an approximate transition temperature of 80K, however it is unlikely that this is the crystal structure of the 190K superconductor, which is probably the H$_{3}$S structure (Bernstein, 2005).
  • The data presented here was computed at 170 GPa.
