Abstract

Water-intercalated misfit-layer sulfides Na _x(H ₂O) _y(MS) _1+δ(TaS ₂) ₂ were found to exhibit superconductivity for M = Sn, Pb, and Sb, as well as anhydrate sulfides (MS) _1+δ(TaS ₂) ₂ with M = Pb, Sb, and Bi. The optimal transition temperature T _c was ≃3 K for the anhydrate sulfides, and was enhanced up to ≃4 K by intercalating a "bilayer" of water between the adjacent TaS ₂ layers. This indicates that the presence of water molecule is favorable to superconductivity in the sulfides as in the cobalt oxide Na _xCoO ₂· nH ₂O, for which superconductivity appears only for the "bilayer" hydrate.
