Why does LaSc${}_{2}$H${}_{24}$ exhibit superior superconductivity compared with LaH${}_{10}$?

Here, the authors indicate that scandium not only distorts the hydrogen cage structure but also creates MgB${}_{2}$-like Sc-H states at the Fermi level. This synergy enhances electron-phonon coupling, unifies strongly coupled H-H states with widely distributed Sc-H states on the Fermi surface, and leads to isotropic single-gap superconductivity with a higher superconductivity.
