Title: Ionic-Liquid-Gating Induced Protonation and Superconductivity in FeSe, FeSe0.93S0.07, ZrNCl, 1T-TaS2 and Bi2Se3 *

Abstract

We report protonation in several compounds by an ionic-liquid-gating method, under optimized gating conditions. This leads to single superconducting phases for several compounds. Non-volatility of protons allows post-gating magnetization and transport measurements. The superconducting transition temperature Tc is enhanced to 43.5 K for FeSe0.93S0.07, and 41 K for FeSe after protonation. Superconducting transitions with Tc ~ 15 K for ZrNCl, ~7.2 K for 1T-TaS2, and ~3.8 K for Bi2Se3 are induced after protonation. Electric transport in protonated FeSe0.93S0.07 confirms high-temperature superconductivity. Our 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on protonated FeSe1-xSx reveal enhanced spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/1 T1 with increasing x, which is consistent with the LDA calculations that H+ is located in the interstitial sites close to the anions.
