In 2012, we discovered superconductivity in Bi4O4S3 and LaO1− x F x BiS2, whose crystal
structures are composed of alternate stacks of a BiS2-type conduction layer and a blocking …

The first eight years of operation of the Cold Neutron Chopper Spectrometer (CNCS) at the
Spallation Neutron Source in Oak Ridge is being reviewed. The instrument has been part of …

Thermoelectric materials, which can convert heat into electricity and vice versa, have
essential applications in power generation, thermocouples, sensors, and cooling. In the past …

In 2012, a new layered superconductor where BiS 2 layer is the superconducting layer was
discovered. So far, seven types of BiS 2-based superconductors and two related …

We investigate the superconducting-gap anisotropy in one of the recently discovered BiS 2-
based superconductors, NdO 0.71 F 0.29 BiS 2 (T c∼ 5 K), using laser-based angle …

Until recently, spin polarization in nonmagnetic materials was the exclusive territory of
noncentrosymmetric structures. It was recently shown that a form of “hidden spin …

Conventional Rashba spin polarization is caused by the combination of strong spin–orbit
interaction and spatial inversion asymmetry. However, Rashba–Dresselhaus-type spin-split …

Motivated by a growing interest in multiorbital superconductors with spin-orbit interactions,
we perform the group-theoretical classification of various unconventional superconductivity …

We report X-ray diffraction studies of single-crystal samples of LaOBiS2 and CeOBiS2,
which are mother materials for BiS2-based layered superconductors. The structural …

The local atomic structure of the new nonmagnetic superconducting system LaO 1− x F x BiS
2 is investigated using neutron diffraction and the pair density function analysis. Evidence for …
