Abstract
The family of BiS2-based superconductors has attracted considerable attention since their discovery in 2012 due to the unique structural and electronic properties of these materials. Several experimental and theoretical studies have been performed to explore the basic properties and the underlying mechanism for superconductivity. In this review, we discuss the current understanding of pairing symmetry in BiS2-based superconductors and particularly the role of point-contact spectroscopy in unravelling the mechanism underlying the superconducting state. We also review experimental results obtained with different techniques including angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, scanning tunnelling spectroscopy, specific heat measurements, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The integration of experimental results and theoretical predictions sheds light on the complex interplay between electronic correlations, spin fluctuations, and Fermi surface topology in determining the coupling mechanism. Finally, we highlight recent advances and future directions in the field of BiS2-based superconductors, underlining the potential technological applications.
期刊介绍:
Nanomaterials (ISSN 2076-4991) is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, and short notes that are relevant to any field of study that involves nanomaterials, with respect to their science and application. Thus, theoretical and experimental articles will be accepted, along with articles that deal with the synthesis and use of nanomaterials. Articles that synthesize information from multiple fields, and which place discoveries within a broader context, will be preferred. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental or methodical details, or both, must be provided for research articles. Computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. Nanomaterials is dedicated to a high scientific standard. All manuscripts undergo a rigorous reviewing process and decisions are based on the recommendations of independent reviewers.
