Evolution of two bulk-superconducting phases in Sr0.5 RE 0.5FBiS2 (RE: La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) by external hydrostatic pressure effect
Abstract Polycrystalline samples of Sr0.5 RE 0.5FBiS 2 (RE: La, Ce, Pr, Nd, and Sm) were synthesized via the solid-state reaction and characterized using synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Although all the Sr0.5 RE 0.5FBiS2 samples exhibited superconductivity at transition temperatures (T c) within the...
