We report the discovery and characterization of a novel 112-type iron pnictide EuFeAs2, with La-doping induced superconductivity in a series of Eu1-xLaxFeAs2. The polycrystalline samples were synthesized through solid state reaction method only within a very narrow temperature window around 1073 K. Small single crystals were also grown from a flux method with the size about 100 um. The crystal structure was identified by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis as a monoclinic structure with space group of P21/m. From resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements, we found that the parent compound EuFeAs2 shows a Fe2+ related antiferromagnetic/structural phase transition near 110 K and a Eu2+ related antiferromagnetic phase transition near 40 K. La doping suppressed the both phase transitions and induced superconducting transition with a Tc ~ 11 K for Eu0.85La0.15FeAs2.

The effects of pressure on antiferromagnetic (AFM) and superconducting phase transitions of 112-type Ca$_{1-x}$La$_{x}$FeAs$_{2}$ were studied, and the in-plane electrical resistivity $rho_{ab}$ was measured with an indenter-type pressure cell. The A
FM phase transition temperatures of $T_{rm N}$ = 47, 63, and 63 K at ambient pressure for $x$ = 0.18, 0.21, and 0.26 was suppressed by applying pressure $P$, with superconductivity emerging at critical pressures of $P_{rm c}$ $simeq$ 0, 1.5, and 3.4 GPa, respectively. Correspondingly, the slope of $T_{rm N}$ against $P$ decreased as $dT_{rm N}/P$ $simeq$ $-$15 and $-$2 K/GPa for $x$ = 0.21 and 0.26, respectively. Thus, although the AFM phase was stabilized with La doping $x$, the AFM phase was suppressed by pressure, and superconductivity eventually emerged.
We use neutron powder diffraction to study on the non-superconducting phases of ThFeAsN$_{1-x}$O$_x$ with $x=0.15, 0.6$. In our previous results on the superconducting phase ThFeAsN with $T_c=$ 30 K, no magnetic transition is observed by cooling down
to 6 K, and possible oxygen occupancy at the nitrogen site is shown in the refinement(H. C. Mao emph{et al.}, EPL, 117, 57005 (2017)). Here, in the oxygen doped system ThFeAsN$_{1-x}$O$_x$, two superconducting region ($0leqslant x leqslant 0.1$ and $0.25leqslant x leqslant 0.55$) have been identified by transport experiments (B. Z. Li emph{et al.}, J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 30, 255602 (2018)). However, within the resolution of our neutron powder diffraction experiment, neither the intermediate doping $x=0.15$ nor the heavily overdoped compound $x= 0.6$ shows any magnetic order from 300 K to 4 K. Therefore, while it shares the common phenomenon of two superconducting domes as most of 1111-type iron-based superconductors, the magnetically ordered parent compound may not exist in this nitride family.
The solid solution of antimonide-oxides Ba1-xKxTi2Sb2O (0 < x < 1) has been synthesized by solid-state reactions and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (CeCr2Si2C-type structure; P4/mmm, Z = 1). The crystal structure consists of Ti2Sb2O-layers
that are stacked with layers of barium atoms along the c-axis. BaTi2Sb2O is a known superconductor with a critical temperature (Tc) of 1.2 K. Substitution of barium through potassium raises Tc up to 6.1 K at 12 % potassium, while no superconductivity emerges with concentrations higher than 20 %. Anomalies in electrical transport and magnetic susceptibility indicate charge density wave (CDW) instabilities. The CDW transition temperatures (Ta) decrease from 50 K in the parent compound to 28 K at 10 % potassium substitution. No CDW transition was detected at higher concentrations, and no evidence for a reduction of the lattice symmetry below Ta was found. The lattice parameters vary linearly while the unit cell volume increases with higher potassium concentrations. The phase diagrams Tc(x) and Ta(x) of Ba1-xKxTi2Sb2O are remarkably similar to the known series Ba1-xNaxTi2Sb2O (0 < x < 0.33) in spite of the reverse volume effect. From this we conclude that the charge and not the volume determines the phase diagrams of these superconducting antimony oxides.
We use inelastic neutron scattering to study the low-energy spin excitations of 112-type iron pnictide Ca$_{0.82}$La$_{0.18}$Fe$_{0.96}$Ni$_{0.04}$As$_{2}$ with bulk superconductivity below $T_c=22$ K. A two-dimensional spin resonance mode is found a
round $E=$ 11 meV, where the resonance energy is almost temperature independent and linearly scales with $T_c$ along with other iron-based superconductors. Polarized neutron analysis reveals the resonance is nearly isotropic in spin space without any $L$ modulations. Due to the unique monoclinic structure with additional zigzag arsenic chains, the As $4p$ orbitals contribute to a three-dimensional hole pocket around $Gamma$ point and an extra electron pocket at $X$ point. Our results suggest that the energy and momentum distribution of spin resonance does not directly response to the $k_z$ dependence of fermiology, and the spin resonance intrinsically is a spin-1 mode from singlet-triplet excitations of the Cooper pairs in the case of weak spin-orbital coupling.
Here we report the discovery of the first ternary molybdenum pnictide based superconductor K2Mo3As3. Polycrystalline samples were synthesized by the conventional solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals a quasi-one-dimensional
hexagonal crystal structure with (Mo3As3)2- linear chains separated by K+ ions, similar as previously reported K2Cr3As3, with the space group of P-6m2 (No. 187) and the refined lattice parameters a = 10.145(5) {AA} and c = 4.453(8) {AA}. Electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and heat capacity measurements exhibit bulk superconductivity with the onset Tc at 10.4 K in K2Mo3As3 which is higher than the isostructural Cr-based superconductors. Being the same group VIB transition elements and with similar structural motifs, these Cr and Mo based superconductors may share some common underlying origins for the occurrence of superconductivity and need more investigations to uncover the electron pairing within a quasi-one-dimensional chain structure.
