Discovery of BiS2-Based Superconductor and Material Design Concept
نویسنده
چکیده
In 2012, we discovered new layered superconductors whose superconducting states emerge in the BiS2 layers. Since their crystal structure, composed of alternate stacks of BiS2 conduction layers and electrically insulating (blocking) layers, is similar to those of cuprate and Fe-based superconductors, many researchers have explored new BiS2-based superconductors and have studied the physical and chemical properties of the BiS2-based superconductors. In this paper, we present the histories of the discovery of the first BiS2-based superconductor, Bi4O4S3, and the second one, LaO1−xFxBiS2. The structural variation of the BiS2-based superconductor family is briefly introduced. Then, we show the material design concept for the emergence of bulk superconductivity in BiS2-based compounds. At the end, a possible strategy for the enhancement of the transition temperature in the BiS2-based superconductors is proposed.

We have synthesized a new layered BiS2-based compound SrFBiS2. This compound has similar structure to BiS2. It is built up by stacking up SrF layers and NaCl-type BiS2 layers alternatively along the c axis. Electric transport measurement indicates that SrFBiS2 is a semiconductor. Thermal transport measurement shows that SrFBiS2 has a small thermal conductivity and large Seebeck coefficient. Fir...

Superconductivity within layered crystal structures has attracted sustained interest among condensed matter community, primarily due to their exotic superconducting properties. EuBiS2F is a newly discovered member in the BiS2-based superconducting family, which shows superconductivity at 0.3 K without extrinsic doping. With 50 at.% Ce substitution for Eu, superconductivity is enhanced with Tc i...

Combined PET/CT scanners now play a major role in medicine for in vivo imaging in oncology, cardiology, neurology, and psychiatry. As the performance of a scanner depends not only on the scintillating material but also on the scanner design, with regards to the advent of newer scanners, there is a need to optimize acquisition protocols as well as to compare scanner ...
