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.}, pages = {467--473}, title = {Superconductivity and its enhancement under high pressure in “F-free” single crystals of CeOBiS2}, volume = {722}, year = {2017}, yomi = {タナカ, マサシ} }
