We report that at low Ru contents, up to x = 0.2, the Zr$_5$Sb$_3$$_-$$_x$Ru$_x$ solid solution forms in the hexagonal Mn$_5$Si$_3$ structure type of the host (x = 0), but that at higher Ru contents (x = 0.4 - 0.6) the solid solution…
Mn5Si3-type structure has been offering an interstitial chemistry. Recent report of enhancement of superconductivity in a Nb-based Mn5Si3-type compound by addition of an interstitial atom motivated us to investigate the effect of…
We report appearance of superconductivity at 5K in NdO0.5F0.5BiS2 and supplement the discovery [1] of the same in layered sulfide based ZrCuSiAs type compounds. The bulk polycrystalline compound is synthesized by conventional solid state…
The discovery of superconductivity in 3$d$-transition metal compounds with strong magnetism is interesting but rare. Especially for Mn-based compounds, there exist only very limited materials that show superconductivity. Here, we report the…
The discovery of superconductivity in Magnesium Diborate (MgB$_2$) has stimulated great interest in the search of new superconductors with similar lattice structures. Unlike cuprate or iron-based superconductors, MgB$_2$ is indisputably a…
Here, we report the discovery of superconductivity in a new transition metal-chalcogenide compound, i.e. Nb2Pd0.81S5, with a transition temperature Tc > 6.6 K. Despite its relatively low Tc, it displays remarkably high and anisotropic…
From first-principles density functional theory calculations, we propose hexagonal layered MgB$_3$C$_3$ as a potential phonon-mediated superconductor at 59 K, which is far higher than the superconductivity of MgB$_2$ ($\approx$ 39 K). The…
Superconductivity is observed with critical temperatures near 9K in the tetragonal compound Mo5PB2. This material adopts the Cr5B3 structure type common to supercondcuting Nb5Si3-xBx, Mo5SiB2, and W5SiB2, which have critical temperatures of…
The electronic structure, stability, electron phonon coupling and superconductivity of the non-oxide perovskite MgCNi$_3$ are studied using density functional calculations. The band structure is dominated by a Ni $d$ derived density of…
The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in compressed H3S by Drozdov and co-workers (A. Drozdov, et. al., Nature 525, 73 (2015)) heralded a new era in superconductivity. To date, the record transition temperature of Tc = 260 K…
Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity (SC) in quasi-two-dimensional copper oxides, a few layered compounds, which bear similarities to the cuprates, have also been found to host unconventional SC. Our recent observation…
We report the discovery of superconductivity in the ternary aluminide Nb$_{5}$Sn$_{2}$Al, which crystallizes in the W$_{5}$Si$_{3}$-type structure with one-dimensional Nb chains along the $c$-axis. It is found that the compound has a…
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…
Superconducting properties of the polycrystalline Zr2Ru3Si4 were investigated by the electrical resistivity, magnetization and specific heat. By these measurements, bulk superconductivity with transition temperature Tc = 5.5 K was…
The advances in the field of unconventional superconductivity are largely driven by the discovery of novel superconducting systems. Here we report on the discovery of superconductivity on the border of antiferromagnetic order in a…

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…
Resistivity and ac magnetic susceptibility measurements on Ba2Sn3Sb6 and SrSn3Sb4 indicate that these Zintl compounds display a transition to a superconducting phase at Tc = 3.9 K. The Meissner effect was observed for Ba2Sn3Sb6 under an…
We report the superconductivity of the CaSn3 single crystal with a AuCu3-type structure, namely cubic space group Pm3m. The superconducting transition temperature TC=4.2 K is determined by the magnetic susceptibility, electrical…
We show using density functional calculations that quasi-one-dimensional K2Mo3As3, which is closely related to the K2Cr3As3 and has very similar superconducting properties, is not close to magnetism and has conventional s-wave…
