Novel BiS2-based superconductors LaO1-xFxBiS2 prepared by the high pressure synthesis technique were systematically studied. It was found that the high pressure annealing strongly the lattice as compared to the LaO1-xFxBiS2 samples prepared by conventional solid state reaction at ambient pressure. Bulk superconductivity was observed within a wide F-concentration range of x = 0.2 ~ 0.7. On the basis of those results, we have established a phase diagram of LaO1-xFxBiS2.

Layered superconductors have provided some interesting fields in condensed matter physics owing to the low dimensionality of their electronic states. For example, the high-Tc (high transition temperature) cuprates and the Fe-based superconductors pos sess a layered crystal structure composed of a stacking of spacer (blocking) layers and conduction (superconducting) layers, CuO2 planes or Fe-Anion layers. The spacer layers provide carriers to the conduction layers and induce exotic superconductivity. Recently, we have reported superconductivity in the novel BiS2-based layered compound Bi4O4S3. It was found that superconductivity of Bi4O4S3 originates from the BiS2 layers. The crystal structure is composed of a stacking of BiS2 superconducting layers and the spacer layers, which resembles those of high-Tc cuprate and the Fe-based superconductors. Here we report a discovery of a new type of BiS2-based layered superconductor LaO1-xFxBiS2, with a Tc as high as 10.6 K.
AC susceptibility measurements have been carried out on superconducting LaO1-xFxFeAs for x=0.07 and 0.14 under He-gas pressures to about 0.8 GPa. Not only do the measured values of dTc/dP differ substantially from those obtained in previous studies u sing other pressure media, but the Tc(P) dependences observed depend on the detailed pressure/temperature history of the sample. A sizeable sensitivity of Tc(P) to shear stresses provides a possible explanation.
We have succeeded in synthesizing single-phase polycrystalline samples of oxygen-deficient oxypnictide superconductors, LnFeAsO1-y (Ln: lanthanide elements) with Ln=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb and Dy using high-pressure synthesis technique. It is foun d out that the synthesis pressure is the most important parameter for synthesizing single-phase samples, in particular for the heavier Ln?s, such as Tb and Dy. The lattice parameters systematically decrease with the atomic number of Ln, reflecting the shrinkage of Ln ionic radius. For the lighter Ln?s (La, Ce, Pr, Nd), Tc increases monotonously with decreasing the lattice parameters from 26K for Ln=La to 54K for Ln=Nd, then stays at the constant value around 53K for the heavier counterpart (Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb and Dy). The results suggest the intimate relationship between the crystal structural parameters and the superconductivity on the one hand, as well as the possible existence of the inherent maximum Tc on the other, which is located around 50 K in the LnFeAsO based materials.
We show the observation of the coexistence of bulk superconductivity and ferromagnetism in CeO1-xFxBiS2(x = 0 - 1.0) prepared by annealing under high-pressure. In CeO1-xFxBiS2 system, both superconductivity and two types of ferromagnetism with respec tive magnetic transition temperatures of 4.5 K and 7.5 K are induced upon systematic F substitution. This fact suggests that carriers generated by the substitution of O by F are supplied to not only the BiS2 superconducting layers but also the CeO blocking layers. Furthermore, the highest superconducting transition temperature is observed when the ferromagnetism is also enhanced, which implies that superconductivity and ferromagnetism are linked to each other in the CeO1-xFxBiS2 system.

Superconductivity of transition metal dichalcogenide $1T$-TiTe$_2$ under high pressure was investigated by the first-principles calculations. Our results show that the superconductivity of $1T$-TiTe$_2$ exhibits very different behavior under the hydr ostatic and uniaxial pressure. The hydrostatic pressure is harmful to the superconductivity, while the uniaxial pressure is beneficial to the superconductivity. Superconducting transition temperature $T_C$ at ambient pressure is 0.73 K, and it reduces monotonously under the hydrostatic pressure to 0.32 K at 30 GPa. While the $T_C$ increases dramatically under the uniaxial pressure along $c$ axis. The established $T_C$ of 6.34 K under the uniaxial pressure of 17 GPa, below which the structural stability maintains, is above the liquid helium temperature of 4.2 K. The increase of density of states at Fermi level, the redshift of $F(omega)$/$alpha^2F(omega)$ and the softening of the acoustic modes with pressure are considered as the main reasons that lead to the enhanced superconductivity under uniaxial pressure. In view of the previously predicted topological phase transitions of $1T$-TiTe$_2$ under the uniaxial pressure [Phys. Rev. B 88, 155317 (2013)], we consider $1T$-TiTe$_2$ as a possible candidate in transition metal chalcogenides for exploring topological superconductivity.
