Abstract
Although many metal hydrides were predicted by theory, very few of those were so far realized in experiment. Here, we systematically investigated the Ta-H system below 85 GPa, and found that the hexagonal close-packed $\mathrm{Ta}{\mathrm{H}}_{\ensuremath{\sim}2}$ can be gradually transformed into $\mathrm{Ta}{\mathrm{H}}_{\ensuremath{\sim}3}$ above 60 GPa at room temperature. With the help of density-functional theory calculations, the space group of $\mathrm{Ta}{\mathrm{H}}_{\ensuremath{\sim}3}$ can be determined as a $I\overline{4}3d$ phase, which is isostructural to the Domeykite mineral. Such structure is rather rare and was not predicted in the earlier theoretical works due to the large unit cell. We also tried laser heating at high pressures and found that temperature plays a key role in tuning the $\mathrm{Ta}{\mathrm{H}}_{\ensuremath{\sim}3}$ phase to $\mathrm{Ta}{\mathrm{H}}_{\ensuremath{\sim}2}$ phase; however, no other new tantalum hydrides were synthesized. During decompression, the $\mathrm{Ta}{\mathrm{H}}_{\ensuremath{\sim}3}$ was completely decomposed to the $\mathrm{Ta}{\mathrm{H}}_{\ensuremath{\sim}2}$ below 30 GPa. Further experiments are still required for the synthesis of other tantalum polyhydrides at a higher pressure range and for the comparison with the theoretical calculations.
