Ji et al. report performing X-ray diffraction on hydrogen compressed to over 250 GPa (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1565-9). It is a remarkable technical achievement. However, the experimental data presented and discussed in the paper do not support the main conclusion that hydrogen undergoes an isostructural phase transition and preserves the hexagonal close packed (hcp) structure up to the highest pressure achieved. The behavior of compressed hydrogen in the studied pressure range cannot be explained by electronic topological transition (ETT), as claimed in the paper.

Quantum spin-Hall insulators (QSHIs), i.e., two-dimensional topological insulators (TIs) with a symmetry-protected band inversion, have attracted considerable scientific interest in recent years. In this work, we have computed the topological Z2 inva
riant for 220 functionalized honeycomb lattices that are isoelectronic to functionalized graphene. Besides confirming the TI character of well-known materials such as functionalized stanene, our study identifies 45 yet unreported QSHIs. We applied a compressed-sensing approach to identify a physically meaningful descriptor for the Z2 invariant that only depends on the properties of the materials constituent atoms. This enables us to draw a map of materials, in which metals, trivial insulators, and QSHI form distinct regions. This analysis yields fundamental insights in the mechanisms driving topological transitions. The transferability of the identified model is explicitly demonstrated for an additional set of honeycomb lattices with different functionalizations that are not part of the original set of 220 graphene-type materials used to identify the descriptor. In this class, we predict 74 more novel QSHIs that have not been reported in literature yet.
The electronic structure of interstitial hydrogen in a compound semiconductor FeS$_2$ (naturally $n$-type) is inferred from a muon study. An implanted muon (Mu, a pseudo-hydrogen) forms electronically different defect centers discerned by the hyperfi
ne parameter ($omega_{rm hf}$). A body of evidence indicates that one muon is situated at the center of an iron-cornered tetrahedron with nearly isotropic $omega_{rm hf}$ (Mu$_{rm p}$), and that the other exists as a diamagnetic state (Mu$_{rm d}$, $omega_{rm hf}simeq 0$). Their response to thermal agitation indicates that the Mu$_{rm d}$ center accompanies a shallow level (donor or acceptor) understood by effective mass model while the electronic structure of Mu$_{rm p}$ center is more isolated from host than Mu$_{rm d}$ to form a deeper donor level. These observations suggest that interstitial hydrogen also serves as an electronically active impurity in FeS$_2$. Based on earlier reports on the hydrogen diffusion in FeS$_2$, possibility of fast diffusion for Mu$_{rm p}$ leading to formation of a complex defect state (Mu$^*_{rm d}$, $Tle 100$ K) or to motional narrowing state (Mu$^*_{rm p}$, $Tge 150$ K) is also discussed.
Recent experiments showed that Co undergoes a phase transition from ferromagnetic hcp phase to non-magnetic fcc one around 100 GPa. Since the transition is of first order, a certain region of co-existence of the two phases is present. By means of tex
tit{ab initio} calculations, we found that the hcp phase itself undergoes a series of electronic topological transitions (ETTs), which affects both elastic and magnetic properties of the material. Most importantly, we propose that the sequence of ETTs lead to the stabilisation of a non-collinear spin arrangement in highly compressed hcp Co. Details of this non-collinear magnetic state and the interatomic exchange parameters that are connected to it, are presented here.
We predict a quantum phase transition in fcc Ca under hydrostatic pressure. Using density functional theory, we find at pressures below 80 kbar, the topology of the electron charge density is characterized by nearest neighbor atoms connected through
bifurcated bond paths and deep minima in the octahedral holes. At pressures above 80 kbar, the atoms bond through non-nuclear maxima that form in the octahedral holes. This topological change in the charge density softens the C elastic modulus of fcc Ca, while C$_{44}$ remains unchanged. We propose an order parameter based on applying Morse theory to the charge density, and we show that near the critical point it follows the expected mean-field scaling law with reduced pressure.
In recent years there has been intense experimental activity to observe solid metallic hydrogen. Wigner and Huntington predicted that under extreme pressures insulating molecular hydrogen would dissociate and transition to atomic metallic hydrogen. R
ecently Dalladay-Simpson, Howie, and Gregoryanz reported a phase transition to an insulating phase in molecular hydrogen at a pressure of 325 GPa and 300 K. Because of its scientific importance we have scrutinized their experimental evidence to determine if their claim is justified. Based on our analysis, we conclude that they have misinterpreted their data: there is no evidence for a phase transition at 325 GPa.
