Abstract

Chemical doping is a critical factor in the development of new superconductors or optimizing the supercon-ducting transition temperature(Tc)of the parent superconducting materials.Here,a new simple urea approach is developed to synthesize the N-doped α-Mo2C.Benefiting from the simple urea method,a broad superconducting dome is found in the Mo2C1-xNx(0 ≤ x ≤ 0.49)compositions.X-ray diffraction results show that the structure of α-Mo2C remains unchanged and there is a variation of lattice parameters with nitrogen doping.Resistiv-ity,magnetic susceptibility,and heat capacity measurement results confirm that Tc was strongly increased from 2.68K(x=0)to 7.05K(x=0.49).First-principles calculations and our analysis indicate that increasing nitro-gen doping leads to a rise in the density of states at the Fermi level and doping-induced phonon softening,which enhances electron-phonon coupling.This results in an increase in Tc and a sharp rise in the upper critical field.Our findings provide a promising strategy for fabricating transition metal carbonitrides and provide a material platform for further study of the superconductivity of transition metal carbides.
