Bulk superconductivity in single phase Bi3O2S3

Superconductivity 2014-11-06 v1

Abstract

We report the synthesis of single phase Bi3O2S3 sample and confirm the occurrence of bulk superconductivity with transition temperature at 5.8 K. The Bi3O2S3 super-conductor is categorized as the typical type-II supercon-ductor based on the results of both temperature and mag-netic field dependences of magnetization. Hall coefficient measurements give evidence of a multiband character, with a dominant conduction mainly by electron-like charge carriers. The charge carrier density is about 1.45 X 1019 cm3, suggesting that the system has very low charge carrier density.
