The high pressure of the order of hundreds of gigapascals required to obtain the high-temperature superconducting phases of a number of hydrides causes the crystal lattice compression, which in turn leads to an exponential increase in the probability of a hydrogen atom tunneling between equivalent interstices. At low temperatures, vacancies in the filled under stoichiometry hydrogen sublattice and hydrogen atoms in the completely free under stoichiometry interstice sublattice are quantum defect - defectons. The estimate of the defecton contribution into the superconductivity of hydrides has been obtained and has been shown that it can be substantial either in the case of free defectons, or in the case of defectons, clusterized with the formation of two-level systems.

The fundamental problem of the phase saturation of electrons in a disordered mesoscopic system at very low temperatures is addressed. The disorder in the medium has both static and dynamic components, the latter being in the form of two-level systems (TLSs) which become just about the only source of inelastic scattering in the limit T → 0. We propose that besides the inelastic nature of scattering from the TLSs, the phase shift of the electrons is also affected by the nature of tunneling in the TLSs. The tunneling becomes incoherent as T decreases due to increasing long-range interactions among the TLSs which affects the phase coherence of electrons scattering from them. The competition between this effect, which increases as ~ T-1, and that of the scattering rate [Formula: see text] behaving as ~ T apparently govern the phase shift of the electrons.

Behavior of crystalline sarcosine and betaine upon cooling down to 5 K was studied and compared to that upon increasing of hydrostatic pressure.
