It is of fundamental importance to explore the parent compound from which superconductivity emerges. Here we report the synthesis,crystal structure, physical properties, and density functional theory(DFT) calculations of(nearly) fully hydrogenized K_(2)Cr_(3)As_(3)H.It is found that the intercalation of hydrogen in K_(2)Cr_(3)As_(3)leads to absence of metallicity as well as superconductivity. An antiferromagnetic transition nearby room temperature is evidenced from the measurements of magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity.The antiferromagnetic insulating state can be reproduced by the DFT calculations, which show a novel non-collinear co-planar magnetic order. Our result sheds light on the mechanism of unconventional superconductivity in Q1D Cr-based superconductors.展开更多

The compound crystallizes in a tetragonal CeCr_(2)Si_(2)C-type structure with cell parameters of a = 4.2296A and c = 5.3571 A. An interlayer Si–Si covalent bonding is suggested by the atomic distance. The electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate a Pauli-paramagnetic metal with dominant electron-electron scattering in the normal-state. Bulk superconductivity at 2.2 K is demonstrated with a dimensionless specific-heat jump of △C/γnT = 0.98. The superconducting parameters of the critical magnetic fields, coherence length, penetration depth, and superconducting energy gap are given.展开更多
