C is the highest reported transition temperature in
kelvin
The kelvin, symbol K, is the primary unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI), used alongside its prefixed forms and the degree Celsius. It is named after the Belfast-born and University of Glasgow-based engineer and phys ...

C is a
critical magnetic field in
tesla. "BCS" means whether or not the superconductivity is explained within the
BCS theory.

Polyhydrides
A polyhydride or superhydride is a compound that contains an abnormally large amount of hydrogen. This can be described as high hydrogen stoichiometry. Examples include iron pentahydride FeH5, LiH6, and LiH7. By contrast, the more well known lit ...
hydrogen rich compounds stabilised under hundreds of gigapascals pressure, such as
trihydrogen sulfide, , at pressures above 90 GPa; 23 K at 100 GPa to 150 K at 200 GPa, or
lanthanum decahydride
Lanthanum decahydride is a polyhydride or superhydride compound of lanthanum and hydrogen (LaH10) that has shown evidence of being a high-temperature superconductor. It has a superconducting transition temperature TC ~ at a pressure of 150 gigapa ...
