AI-Guided Computational Design of a Room-Temperature, Ambient- Pressure Superconductor Candidate: Grokene
An LLM-guided materials discovery workflow identified Grokene, a two-dimensional superlattice derived from graphene, predicted to superconduct at ambient pressure and room temperature. Calculations give a mean-field critical temperature of about 325 K and a full Eliashberg estimate near 310 K. Phase fluctuations, however, limit the observable transition in a monolayer to about 120 K, and stacking or substrate and gate engineering are proposed to raise it.
