Research Abstract

The present work dealt with search for novel layered superconductors among oxynitrides, a material family with mixed anions. We focused on Li-Nb oxynitrides, containing a layered arrangement of chemically distinct two metals of Li and Nb.
A hexagonal oxynitride Li0.88Nb3.0(O0.13N0.87)4 was synthesized through ammonia nitridation of LiNb3O8. X-ray and neutron diffraction analyses revealed that this oxynitride consists of alternate stacking of octahedral and prismatic layers with different Li/Nb ratios: significant amounts of Li and Nb atoms (Li/Nb = 43/57) coexist in the octahedral layer, while the prismatic site is preferentially occupied by Nb (Li/Nb = 3/97). A metallic behavior was accompanied by an abrupt drop of electrical resistivity at about 3 K. Furthermore, large diamagnetism and specific-heat anomaly were observed below this temperature, suggesting the appearance of superconductivity in the Li-Nb oxynitride.
