Leonard Constantin Gebac, Vasile Bercu
TL;DR
This study explores how hydrogen inside fullerane cages behaves under high pressure, offering a new way to study and potentially create metallic hydrogen.
Contribution
The paper introduces a novel experimental approach to achieve high-pressure hydrogen states using fullerane vibrational modes.
Findings
Compression of the fullerane cage leads to structural and dynamical changes resembling high-pressure hydrogen phases.

The study provides a theoretical foundation for experimentally achieving high-pressure and high-temperature hydrogen states.
Abstract
The encapsulation of hydrogen within fullerene/fullerane cages offers a promising avenue for studying high pressure hydrogen dynamics. Through ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the behavior of a system consisting of hydrogen atoms enclosed in a C20H20 dodecahedrane. Our findings reveal significant structural and dynamical changes as the cage undergoes compression, corresponding to radial symmetric vibration. We analyze geometric, energetic, and thermodynamic parameters, highlighting correlations and observing behavior analogous to high pressure phases of hydrogen. Notably, our study bridges the gap between theory and experiment by proposing a novel approach to achieving high pressures and temperatures experimentally. These results not only contribute to the understanding of hydrogen behavior under extreme conditions but also hold implications for the quest to…
