Superconductivity in BiS2-Based Layered Compounds

Abstract

Crystal structure and physical properties of the novel BiS2-based layered superconductors are briefly reviewed. Superconductivity in the BiS2-based layered compounds is induced by electron doping into the BiS2 conduction layers. The superconducting properties seem to correlate with the crystal structure. Possible strategies for increasing transition temperature in this family are discussed.
