英文摘要The crystalline structures of thorium dihydride, ThH2, under pressure are investigated by using an unbiased structure searching method coupled with ab initio calculations. Three low-enthalpy phases are found as the thermodynamic ground states of ThH2 up to 200 GPa, including an experimentally observed I4/mmm phase and two newly predicted monoclinic phases (C2/m and C/2c phase). ThH2 is predicted to undergo I4/mmm →C2/m → C/2c phase transitions without zero-point (ZP) effects, whereas it directly transforms from the I4/mmm phase to the C2/c phase with ZP effects. Phonon calculations show that these competitive phases are thermodynamically stable. There is a strengthening of the metallic characters of the chemical bonding with increased pressure. Our results highlight the role of ZP effects in the high-pressure behaviors of metal hydrides and provide insight into further studies of other compounds containing light elements under pressure.
