In 2012, we discovered superconductivity in Bi4O4S3 and LaO1− x F x BiS2, whose crystal
structures are composed of alternate stacks of a BiS2-type conduction layer and a blocking …

BiS2-based layered superconductors have attracted considerable interest owing to the
relatively large spin–orbit coupling of bismuth 6 p orbitals, the strong coupling nature by …

BiS2-based LaO1− x F x BiS2 (x= 0.5) becomes superconductive at T c= 2.5 K. Electrical
resistivity and magnetization measurements are performed under pressure to determine the …

We report a strategy to induce superconductivity in the BiS 2-based compound LaOBiS 2.
Instead of substituting F for O, we increase the charge-carrier density (electron dope) via …

Abstract BiCh2-based compounds (Ch: S, Se) are a new series of layered superconductors
and the mechanisms for the emergence of superconductivity in these materials have not yet …

In 2012, a new layered superconductor where BiS 2 layer is the superconducting layer was
discovered. So far, seven types of BiS 2-based superconductors and two related …

Electrical resistivity measurements as a function of temperature between 1 and 300 K were
performed at various pressures up to 3 GPa on the superconducting layered compounds Ln …

We have synthesized a novel europium bismuth sulfofluoride, Eu3Bi2S4F4, by solid-state
reactions in sealed evacuated quartz ampules. The compound crystallizes in a tetragonal …

We have synthesized high-entropy-alloy-type (HEA-type) RE123 superconductors Y 0.28 Nd

F-substituted NdOBiS2 superconducting single crystals were grown using CsCl/KCl flux.
This is the first example of the single-crystal growth of a BiS2-based superconductor. The …
