Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We searched for new superconductors with layered crystal structures, especially, chromium compounds. We focused on KxCrSe2 (x = 0 and 0.5) and applied carrier doping and high pressure in order to induce superconductivity. We found that KxCrSe2 is insulating at ambient pressure. The resistivity decreases with pressure but it does not show metallic behavior up to 10 GPa. We also found that Li intercalation provides carrier to CrSe2, while it does not show superconductivity. In addition, we performed physical property measurements and electronic structure calculations on layered superconductor ZrP2-xSex and revealed the mechanism of superconductivity.
