| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
BiS2-based superconductors are pseudo-2D materials consisting of alternating stacks of block layers, which possess rare-earth ions, and BiS2 conducting layers. We have grown high-quality single crystals with controlled carrier doping for each rare-earth elements, and have studied the anisotropies of 4f-electron magnetism and electronic conduction as well as the coupling between the two.
We have found at low temperatures that unconventional quantum critical behaviors (logT divergence in the specific heat) appearing in Ce-based materials in a nonmetallic state and heavy-fermion behaviors in Nd-based materials. In the superconducting state, we have found anomalous behaviors of the upper critical field Hc2, i.e., largely enhanced Hc2 caused by the breaking of the local inversion symmetry at the electronically active BiS2 bilayers and its anomalous temperature dependence suggesting different gap sizes on the Fermi surface.
