Abstract

We succeed in enhancement of a superconducting transition temperature (Tc) for NdO0.7F0.3BiS2 single crystal by partial substitution of Pb for Bi. The Tc increases with increasing Pb concentration until 6%. The maximum Tczero is 5.6 K, which is the highest value among BiS2-based based superconductors synthesized under an ambient pressure. Pb substitution for Bi induces lattice shrinkage along the c-axis. These results reflect that superconductivity in this system is responsive to the lattice strain.
