Iron-based layered superconductor: LaOFeP

J Am Chem Soc. 2006 Aug 9;128(31):10012-3. doi: 10.1021/ja063355c.

Abstract

We report superconductivity in an iron-based layered oxy-pnictide LaOFeP. LaOFeP is composed of an alternate stack of lanthanum oxide (La3+O2-) and iron pnictide (Fe2+P3-) layers. Magnetic and electrical resistivity measurements verify the occurrence of the superconducting transition at approximately 4 K.
