Abstract

A large number of compounds which contain BiS₂ layers exhibit enhanced superconductivity upon electron doping. Much interest and research effort has been focused on BiS₂-based compounds which provide new opportunities for exploring the nature of superconductivity. Important to the study of BiS₂-based superconductors is the relation between structure and superconductivity. Furthermore, by modifying either the superconducting BiS₂ layers or the blocking layers in these layered compounds, one can effectively tune the lattice parameters, local atomic environment, electronic structure, and other physical properties of these materials. In our article, we will review some of the recent progress on research of the effects of chemical substitution in BiS₂-based compounds, with special attention given to the compounds in the LnOBiS₂ (Ln = La-Nd) system. Finally, We discuss strategies which are reported to be essential in optimizing superconductivity of these materials.

High-pressure effects on nonfluorinated ${BiS}_{2}$ -based superconductors ${La}_{1 - x} M_{x} {OBiS}_{2}$ ( $M = Ti$ and Th)

Journal Article Fang, Y. ; Yazici, D. ; Jeon, I. ; ... - Physical Review B

Layered LnOBiS₂ (where Ln represents a lanthanide element) compounds with Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, and Yb can be rendered conducting and superconducting via two routes, substitution of F for O or the tetravalent ions Ti, Zr, Hf, and Th for trivalent Ln ions. Electrical resistivity measurements on nonfluorinated La_0.80Ti_0.20OBiS₂ and La_0.85Th_0.15OBiS₂ superconductors were performed between ~1.5 and 300 K and under pressure up to 2.4 GPa. For both compounds, the superconducting transition temperature T_c, which is ~2.9K at ambient pressure, gradually increases with pressure to 3.2–3.7 K at ~1GPa, above which it is suppressed and the superconducting transitionsmore »« less

Conventional magnetic superconductors

Journal Article Wolowiec, C. T. ; White, B. D. ; Maple, M. B. - Physica. C, Superconductivity

We discuss several classes of conventional magnetic superconductors including the ternary rhodium borides and molybdenum chalcogenides (or Chevrel phases), and the quaternary nickel-borocarbides. These materials exhibit some exotic phenomena related to the interplay between superconductivity and long-range magnetic order including: the coexistence of superconductivity and antiferromagnetic order; reentrant and double reentrant superconductivity, magnetic field induced superconductivity, and the formation of a sinusoidally-modulated magnetic state that coexists with superconductivity. We introduce the article with a discussion of the binary and pseudobinary superconducting materials containing magnetic impurities which at best exhibit short-range “glassy” magnetic order. Early experiments on these materials led tomore »« less

Chemical and structural changes in Ln{sub 2}NiO{sub 4+δ} (Ln=La, Pr or Nd) lanthanide nickelates as a function of oxygen partial pressure at high temperature

Journal Article Flura, Aurélien ; Dru, Sophie ; Nicollet, Clément ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

The chemical stability of lanthanide nickelates Ln{sub 2}NiO{sub 4+δ} (Ln=La, Pr or Nd) has been studied in the temperature range 25–1300 °C, either in air or at low pO{sub 2} (down to 10{sup −4} atm). Thermal gravimetry analysis (TGA) measurements coupled with X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization have shown that all compounds retain their K{sub 2}NiF{sub 4}-type structure in these conditions, while remaining over-stoichiometric in oxygen up to 1000 °C. Only Nd{sub 2}NiO{sub 4+δ} starts to decompose into Nd{sub 2}O{sub 3} and NiO above 1000 °C, at pO{sub 2}=10{sup −4} atm. In addition, a careful analysis of the lanthanide nickelates structuralmore »« less

Polymorphism of Bi{sub 1-x}Ln{sub x}O{sub 1.5} phases (0<x<0.40) Characterization of a new compound Bi{sub 4}Ln{sub 2}O{sub 9} (x=0.33; Ln=La, Pr, Nd)

Journal Article Drache, Michel ; Huve, Marielle ; Roussel, Pascal ; ... - Materials Research Bulletin

The Bi{sub 1-x}Ln{sub x}O{sub 1.5} solid solutions (Ln=La, Pr, Nd), of the {beta}{sub 2}/{beta}{sub 1}/{epsilon} (Bi-Sr-O) structural type, have been investigated in their Ln-rich domains. For Ln=La, Pr, and Nd, the upper limits are 0.35, 0.35 and 0.33, respectively. The Bi{sub 4}Ln{sub 2}O{sub 9} {epsilon} phase (x=0.33) appears to be the single definite compound. For Bi{sub 4}La{sub 2}O{sub 9}, Bi{sub 4}Pr{sub 2}O{sub 9} and Bi{sub 4}Nd{sub 2}O{sub 9}, the {epsilon}-type cells are respectively: a=9.484(4) A, b=3.982(2) A, c=7.030(3) A, {beta}=104.75(3) deg.; a=9.470(5) A, b=3.945(2) A, c=6.968(4) A, {beta}=104.73(3) deg. and a=9.439(3) A, b=3.944(2) A, c=6.923(2) A, {beta}=105.03(3) deg. .

Effects of Out-of-Plane Disorder on the Nodal Quasiparticle and Superconducting Gap in Single-Layer Bi_2Sr_1.6Ln_0.4CuO_6 delta (Ln = La, Nd, Gd)

Journal Article Hashimoto, M - Submitted to Physical Review B

How out-of-plane disorder affects the electronic structure has been investigated for the single-layer cuprates Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 1.6}Ln{sub 0.4}CuO{sub 6+{delta}} (Ln = La, Nd, Gd) by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We have observed that, with increasing disorder, while the Fermi surface shape and band dispersions are not affected, the quasi-particle width increases, the anti-nodal gap is enhanced and the superconducting gap in the nodal region is depressed. The results indicate that the superconductivity is significantly depressed by out-of-plane disorder through the enhancement of the anti-nodal gap and the depression of the superconducting gap in the nodal region.
