Abstract

A series of high-entropy superconductors, ROBiS2 (R = La + Ce + Pr + Nd + Sm), have been successfully grown in the form of single crystals using CsCl flux. The obtained single crystals have a platelike shape with a size of 0.5–2.0 mm and a thickness of 70–450 μm, and they are cleavable along the c-plane. The c-axis lattice constants of the obtained ROBiS2 single crystals have similar values of 13.47–13.57 Å. The Ce in the obtained ROBiS2 single crystals was in a mixed-valence state, comprising both Ce3+ and Ce4+. On the other hand, Pr and Sm showed only the trivalent state. The superconducting transition temperatures of ROBiS2 single crystals were approximately 2–4 K. The superconducting transition temperature and superconducting anisotropies of R-site mixed high-entropy samples increased with a decrease in the mean ionic radius of the R-site. Moreover, a deviation in the tendency to exhibit superconducting properties was observed based on the difference in the R-site mixed entropy. R-site mixed entropy in ROBiS2 superconductors may affect their superconducting properties.

  • In the high-entropy layer system ROBiS2, μ0Hc2(0) in the c-plane is significantly greater than its Pauli limit.

    “In this high-entropy layer system, the μ 0Hc2(0) in the c -plane is signi fi cantly greater than its Pauli limit.”

    From Recent advances in high-entropy superconductors (2024) · cites this paper as [64]

    The Results report that the zero-temperature upper critical field parallel to the c-plane is 16 T for sample D, significantly above its 8.46 T Pauli limit. But they also state that sample C is an exception: its field is 4.9 T, below its 6.07 T Pauli limit. The claim omits that qualification when describing the ROBiS2 system generally. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
