抄録
“F-free” CeOBiS2 single crystals have successfully grown, thoroughly eliminating a concern about F-contamination by using a high-purity CsCl flux. The obtained crystals have a plate-like shape with a size of 1.0–3.0 mm in the well-developed plane. Single crystal X-ray structural analysis clearly revealed that the CeOBiS2 crystallizes with a space group P4/nmm (with lattice parameters of a = 4.0189 (6) Å, c = 13.573 (2) Å). The bond valence sum estimation and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed that the chemical state of Ce was in the mixed valence of Ce3+ and Ce4+. The single crystals show superconductivity with zero resistivity at ∼1.3 K. This is the first conclusive evidence of superconductivity driven by Ce valence fluctuation in surely non-doped CeOBiS2. The superconducting transition temperature was enhanced up to ∼3.8 K by applying hydrostatic pressure.
