Studies of the effect of high pressure on superconductivity began in 1925 with the seminal work of Sizoo and Onnes on Sn to 0.03 GPa and have continued up to the present day to pressures in the 200 - 300 GPa range. Such enormous pressures cause profound changes in all condensed matter properties, including superconductivity. In high pressure experiments metallic elements, Tc values have been elevated to temperatures as high as 20 K for Y at 115 GPa and 25 K for Ca at 160 GPa. These pressures are sufficient to turn many insulators into metals and magnetics into superconductors. The changes will be particularly dramatic when the pressure is sufficient to break up one or more atomic shells. Recent results in superconductivity to Mbar pressures wll be discussed which exemplify the progress made in this field over the past 82 years.

Motivated by the recent discovery of near-room temperature superconductivity in high-pressure superhydrides, we investigate from first-principles the high-pressure superconducting phase diagram of the ternary Ca-B-H system, using ab-initio evolutiona
ry crystal structure prediction, and Density Functional Perturbation Theory. We find that below 100 GPa all stable and weakly metastable phases are insulating. This pressure marks the appearance of several new chemically-forbidden phases on the hull of stability, and the first onset of metalization in CaBH$_5$. Metallization is then gradually achieved at higher pressure at different compositions. Among the metallic phases stable in the Megabar regime, we predict two high-$T_c$ superconducting phases with CaBH$_6$ and Ca$_2$B$_2$H$_{13}$ compositions, with critical temperatures of 119 and 89 K at 300 GPa, respectively, surviving to lower pressures. Ternary hydrides will most likely play a major role in superconductivity research in the coming years; our study suggests that, in order to reduce the pressure for the onset of metallicity and superconductivity, further explorations of ternary hydrides should focus on elements less electronegative than boron.
Recently, C. M. Pepin textit{et al.} [Science textbf{357}, 382 (2017)] reported the formation of several new iron polyhydrides FeH$_x$ at pressures in the megabar range, and spotted FeH$_5$, which forms above 130 GPa, as a potential high-tc supercon
ductor, because of an alleged layer of dense metallic hydrogen. Shortly after, two studies by A.~Majumdar textit{et al.} [Phys. Rev. B textbf{96}, 201107 (2017)] and A.~G.~Kvashnin textit{et al.} [J. Phys. Chem. C textbf{122}, 4731 (2018)] based on {em ab initio} Migdal-Eliashberg theory seemed to independently confirm such a conjecture. We conversely find, on the same theoretical-numerical basis, that neither FeH$_5$ nor its precursor, FeH$_3$, shows any conventional superconductivity and explain why this is the case. We also show that superconductivity may be attained by transition-metal polyhydrides in the FeH$_3$ structure type by adding more electrons to partially fill one of the Fe--H hybrid bands (as, e.g., in NiH$_3$). Critical temperatures, however, will remain low because the $d$--metal bonding, and not the metallic hydrogen, dominates the behavior of electrons and phonons involved in the superconducting pairing in these compounds.
The pressure induced superconductivity and structural evolution for Bi2Se3 single crystal have been studied. The emergence of superconductivity with onset transition temperature (Tc) about 4.4K is observed around 12GPa. Tc increases rapidly to the hi
ghest 8.5K at 16GPa, decreases to 6.5K at 21GPa, then keep almost constant. It is found that Tc versus pressure is closely related to the carrier density which increases by more than two orders of magnitude from 2GPa to 23GPa. High pressure synchrotron radiation measurements reveal structure transitions occur around 12GPa, 20GPa, and above 29GPa, respectively. A phase diagram of superconductivity versus pressure is obtained.
Recently, ZrTe5 and HfTe5 are theoretically studied to be the most promising layered topological insulators since they are both interlayer weakly bonded materials and also with a large bulk gap in the single layer. It paves a new way for the study of
novel topological quantum phenomenon tuned via external parameters. Here, we report the discovery of superconductivity and properties evolution in HfTe5 single crystal induced via pressures. Our experiments indicated that anomaly resistance peak moves to low temperature first before reverses to high temperature followed by disappearance which is opposite to the low pressure effect on ZrTe5. HfTe5 became superconductive above ~5.5 GPa up to at least 35 GPa in the measured range. The highest superconducting transition temperature (Tc) around 5 K was achieved at 20 GPa. High pressure Raman revealed that new modes appeared around pressure where superconductivity occurs. Crystal structure studies shown that the superconductivity is related to the phase transition from Cmcm structure to monoclinic C2/m structure. The second phase transition from C2/m to P-1 structure occurs at 12 GPa. The combination of transport, structure measurement and theoretical calculations enable a completely phase diagram of HfTe5 at high pressures.
Electron-phonon interaction is of central importance for the electrical and heat transport properties of metals, and is directly responsible for charge-density-waves or (conventional) superconducting instabilities. The direct observation of phonon di
spersion anomalies across electronic phase transitions can provide insightful information regarding the mechanisms underlying their formation. Here, we review the current status of phonon dispersion studies in superconductors under hydrostatic and uniaxial pressure. Advances in the instrumentation of high resolution inelastic X-ray scattering beamlines and pressure generating devices allow these measurements to be performed routinely at synchrotron beamlines worldwide.
