Ionic-liquid-gating induced protonation and superconductivity in FeSe, FeSe0.93S0.07, ZrNCl, 1T-TaS2, and Bi2Se3


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We report protonation in several compounds by an ionic-liquid-gating method, with optimized gating conditions. This leads to single superconducting phases for several compounds. Non-volatility of protons allow post-gating magnetization and transport measurements. The superconducting transition temperature $T_C$ is enhanced to 43.5~K for FeSe$_{0.93}$S$_{0.07}$, and 41~K for FeSe after protonation. Superconductivity with $T_c$$approx$15~K for ZrNCl, $approx$7.2~K for 1$T$-TaS$_2$, and $approx$3.8~K for Bi$_2$Se$_3$ are induced after protonation. Electric transport in protonated FeSe$_{0.93}$S$_{0.07}$ confirms high-temperature superconductivity. Our $^{1}$H NMR measurements on protonated FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_{x}$ reveal enhanced spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/^{1}T_1$ with increasing $x$, which is consistent with LDA calculations that H$^{+}$ are located in the interstitial sites close to the anions.
