A hexagonal oxynitride (Li0.88_0.12)Nb3.0(O0.13N0.87)4 was synthesized through ammonia nitridation of LiNb3O8. The structural analysis revealed that this oxynitride consists of alternate stacking of octahedral and prismatic layers with different Li/Nb ratios: significant amounts of Li and Nb atoms (Li/Nb = 43/57) coexist in the octahedral layer, while the prismatic site is preferentially occupied by Nb (Li/Nb = 3/97). A metallic behavior was accompanied by an abrupt drop of electrical resistivity at about 3 K. Furthermore, large diamagnetism and specific-heat anomaly were observed below this temperature, suggesting the appearance of superconductivity in the Li-Nb oxynitride.

We discuss the important aspects of synthesis and crystal growth of MgB2 under high pressure (P) and temperature (T) in Mg-B-N system, including the optimisation of P-T conditions for reproducible crystal growth, the role of liquid phases in this pro
cess, the temperature dependence of crystal size and the effect of growing instabilities on single crystals morphology. Extensive experiments have been carried out on single crystals with slightly different lattice constants and defects concentration, which revealed and possible effects of Mg-deficiency and lattice strain on the superconducting properties of MgB2 (Tc, Jc, residual resistivity ratio, anisotropy etc.).
Orthorhombic (space group: Pnma) Nb2P5 is a high-pressure phase that is quenchable to ambient pressure, which could viewed as the zigzag infinite P chain-inserted NbP2. We report herein the high-pressure crystal growth of Nb2P5 and the discovery of i
ts superconducting transition at Tc ~ 2.6 K. The electrical resistivity, magnetization, and specific heat capacity measurements on the high-quality crystal unveiled a conventional type-II weakly coupled s-wave nature of the superconductivity, with the upper critical field Hc2(0) ~ 0.5 T, the electron-phonon coupling strength {lambda}ep ~ 0.5 - 0.8, and the Ginzburg-Landau parameter k{appa} ~ 100. The ab initio calculations on the electronic band structure unveiled nodal-line structures protected by different symmetries. The one caused by band inversion, for example, on the {Gamma}-X and U-R paths of the Brillouin zone, likely could bring nontrivial topology and hence possible nontrivial surface state on the surface. The surface states on the (100), (010) and (110) surfaces were also calculated and discussed. The discovery of the phosphorus-rich Nb2P5 superconductor would be instructive for the design of more metal phosphides superconductors which might host unconventional superconductivity or potential technical applications.
We present the crystal structure and low temperature electronic transport properties of the intermetallic commonly known as BeB_2. In contrast to the much simpler AlB_2-type structure of the 39K superconductor MgB_2, BeB_2 forms a complex structure t
ype that is nearly unique in nature. The structure has 110.5 atoms per unit cell and a stoichiometry BeB_{2.75}. Polycrystalline Be(^{10.8}B)_{2.75} is superconducting below T_c=0.72K with a critical magnetic field H_{c2}=0.175T. Isotopically pure ^{10.0}B samples of have an enhanced$T_c=0.79K, consistent with a BCS isotope effect. Hall effect measurements suggest that the material is intrinsically compensated.
We report the magnetotransport properties of thin polycrystalline films of the recently discovered non-oxide perovskite superconductor MgCNi3. CNi3 precursor films were deposited onto sapphire substrates and subsequently exposed to Mg vapor at 700 C.
We report transition temperatures (Tc) and critical field values (Hc2) of MgCNi3 films ranging in thickness from 7.5 nm to 100 nm. Films thicker than ~40 nm have a Tc ~ 8 K, and an upper critical field Hc2 ~ 14 T, which are both comparable to that of polycrystalline powders. Hall measurements in the normal state give a carrier density, n =-4.2 x 10^22 cm^-3, that is approximately 4 times that reported for bulk samples.
The effects of pressure on the superconducting properties of a Bi-based layered superconductor La2O2Bi3Ag0.6Sn0.4S6, which possesses a four-layer-type conducting layer, have been studied through the electrical resistance and magnetic susceptibility m
easurements. The crystal structure under pressure was examined using synchrotron X-ray diffraction at SPring-8. In the low-pressure regime, bulk superconductivity with a transition temperature Tc of ~ 4.5 K was induced by pressure, which was achieved by in-plane chemical pressure effect owing to the compression of the tetragonal structure. In the high-pressure regime above 6.4 GPa, a structural symmetry lowering was observed, and superconducting transitions with a Tc ~ 8 K were observed. Our results suggest the possible commonality on the factor essential for Tc in Bi-based superconductors with two-layer-type and four-layer-type conducting layers.
