Effect of yttrium substitution on the superconducting properties of the system La${}_{1-\text{x}}$Y${}_{\text{x}}$O${}_{0.5}$F${}_{0.5}$BiS${}_2$

Abstract

We present the effect of yttrium substitution on superconductivity in the La${}_{1-\text{x}}$Y${}_{\text{x}}$O${}_{0.5}$F${}_{0.5}$BiS${}_2$ system. Polycrystalline samples with nominal Y concentrations up to 40% were synthesized and characterized via electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat measurements. Y substitution reduces the lattice parameter \textit{a} and unit cell volume \textit{V}, and a correlation between the lattice parameter \textit{c}, the La-O-La bond angle, and the superconducting critical temperature $T_c$ is observed. The chemical pressure induced by Y substitution for La produces neither the high-$T_c$ superconducting phase nor the structural phase transition seen in LaO${}_{0.5}$F${}_{0.5}$BiS${}_2$ under externally applied pressure.
