Abstract
The BiS2 -based layered superconductors with structures similar to those of cuprates and iron-based superconductors have stimulated much research interest. Here, a new quaternary compound is reported, Bi5 O4 S3 Cl, which crystalizes in a tetragonal structure with P4/mmm (No. 123) space group having alternately stacking unique BiS3 layers and Bi2 O2 layers along the c-axis with a Cl atom located at the center of the unit cell. A superconducting transition above 3 K is observed for both electrical transport and magnetic measurements. Hall resistivity measurements show its multiband character with a conduction dominated by electron-like charge carriers. The first-principles calculations exhibit that the semiconducting parent phase Bi5 O4 S3 Cl becomes metallic when sulfur vacancies are introduced, which hints the origin of superconductivity in Bi5 O4 S3 Cl. The findings will inspire the exploration of new BiS-based superconductors.

Abstract
Since 2012, layered compounds containing Bi-Ch (Ch: S and Se) layers have been extensively studied in the field of superconductivity. The most-studied system is BiS2-based superconductors with two-layer-type conducting layers. Recently, superconductivity was observed in La2O2M2S6 (M = metals), which contains four-layer-type conducting layers. The four-layer-type Bi-based superconductors are new systems in the family of Bi-based superconductors; we can expect further development of Bi-based layered superconductors. In this review article, we summarize the progress of synthesis, structural analysis, investigations on superconducting properties, and material design of the four-layer-type Bi-based superconductors. In-plane chemical pressure is the factor essential for the emergence of bulk superconductivity in the system. The highest Tc of 4.1 K was observed in Rare Earth elements (RE) substituted La2-xRExO2Bi3Ag0.6Sn0.4S6.

Abstract
Atomically thin oxychalcogenides have been attracting intensive attention for their fascinating fundamental properties and application prospects. Bi2 O2 Se, a representative of layered oxychalcogenides, has emerged as an air-stable high-mobility 2D semiconductor that holds great promise for next-generation electronics. The preparation and device fabrication of high-quality Bi2 O2 Se crystals down to a few atomic layers remains a great challenge at present. Here, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) of atomically thin Bi2 O2 Se films down to monolayer on SrTiO3 (001) substrate is achieved by co-evaporating Bi and Se precursors in oxygen atmosphere. The interfacial atomic arrangements of MBE-grown Bi2 O2 Se/SrTiO3 are unambiguously revealed, showing an atomically sharp interface and atom-to-atom alignment. Importantly, the electronic band structures of one-unit-cell (1-UC) thick Bi2 O2 Se films are observed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), showing low effective mass of ≈0.15 m0 and bandgap of ≈0.8 eV. These results may be constructive to the synthesis of other 2D oxychalcogenides and investigation of novel physical properties.

Abstract
Local and fast structural probes using synchrotron radiation have shown nanoscale striped puddles and nanoscale phase separation in doped perovskites. It is known that the striped phases in doped perovskites are due to competing interactions involving charge, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom. In this work, we show that two different stripes can be represented as a superposition of a pair of stripes, U(θ n) or D(θ n), characterized by perovskite tilts where one of the pair is rotated in relation to the other partner by an angle Δθ n = π/2. The spatial distribution of the U and D stripes is reduced to all possible maps in the well-known mathematical four-color theorem. Both the periodic striped puddles and random structures can be represented by using planar graphs with a chromatic number χ ≤ 4. To observe the colors in mapping experiments, it is necessary to recover variously oriented tilting effects from the replica. It is established that there is an interplay between the annihilation/creation of new stripes and ordering/disordering tilts in relation to the θ n angle in the CuO2 plane, where the characteristic shape of the stripes coincides with the tilting-ordered regions.

Abstract
Recently, we reported the synthesis and investigations of EuSr2Bi2S4F4 and Eu2SrBi2S4F4. We have now been able to induce superconductivity in EuSr2Bi2S4F4 by Se substitution at the S site (isovalent substitution) with Tc = 2.9 K in EuSr2Bi2S2Se2F4. The other compound, Eu2SrBi2S4F4, shows a significant enhancement of Tc. In Se-substituted Eu2SrBi2S4-xSexF4, we find Tc = 2.6 K for x = 1.5 and Tc = 2.8 K for x = 2, whereas Tc = 0.4 K in the Se-free sample. In addition to superconductivity, an important effect associated with Se substitution is that it gives rise to remarkable changes in the Eu valence. Our 151Eu Mössbauer and X-ray photoemission spectroscopic measurements show that Se substitution in both of the compounds Eu2SrBi2S4F4 and EuSr2Bi2S4F4 gives rise to an increase in the Eu2+ component in the mixed-valence state of Eu.

Abstract
We have carried out detailed magnetic and transport studies of the new Sr0.5Ce0.5FBiS2-xSex (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) superconductors derived by doping Se in Sr0.5Ce0.5FBiS2. Se–doping produces several effects: it suppresses semiconducting–like behavior observed in the undoped Sr0.5Ce0.5FBiS2, the ferromagnetic ordering temperature, TFM, decreases considerably from 7.5 K (in Sr0.5Ce0.5FBiS2) to 3.5 K and the superconducting transition temperature, Tc, gets enhanced slightly to 2.9–3.3 K. Thus in these Se–doped materials, TFM is marginally higher than Tc. Magnetization studies provide evidence of bulk superconductivity in Sr0.5Ce0.5FBiS2-xSex at x ≥ 0.5 in contrast to the undoped Sr0.5Ce0.5FBiS2 (x = 0) where magnetization measurements indicate a small superconducting volume fraction. Quite remarkably, as compared with the effective paramagnetic Ce–moment (~2.2 μB), the ferromagnetically ordered Ce–moment in the superconducting state is rather small (~0.1 μB) suggesting itinerant ferromagnetism. To the best of our knowledge, Sr0.5Ce0.5FBiS2-x Sex (x = 0.5 and 1.0) are distinctive Ce–based bulk superconducting itinerant ferromagnetic materials with Tc < TFM. Furthermore, a novel feature of these materials is that they exhibit a dual and quite unusual hysteresis loop corresponding to both the ferromagnetism and the coexisting bulk superconductivity.

Abstract
Magnetic oxyselenides have been a topic of research for several decades, firstly in the context of photoconductivity and thermoelectricity owing to their intrinsic semiconducting properties and ability to tune the energy gap through metal ion substitution. More recently, interest in the oxyselenides has experienced a resurgence owing to the possible relation to strongly correlated phenomena given the fact that many oxyselenides share a similar structure to unconventional superconducting pnictides and chalcogenides. The two dimensional nature of many oxyselenide systems also draws an analogy to cuprate physics where a strong interplay between unconventional electronic phases and localised magnetism has been studied for several decades. It is therefore timely to review the physics of the oxyselenides in the context of the broader field of strongly correlated magnetism and electronic phenomena. Here we review the current status and progress in this area of research with the focus on the influence of lanthanides and transition metal ions on the intertwined magnetic and electronic properties of oxyselenides. The emphasis of the review is on the magnetic properties and comparisons are made with iron based pnictide and chalcogenide systems.

Abstract
The relationship between the structure and superconductivity of Bi4O4S3 powders synthesized by heating under ambient and high pressures was investigated using synchrotron X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation. The Bi4O4S3 powders synthesized under ambient pressure exhibited a strong superconductivity (diamagnetic) signal and zero resistivity below ∼4.5 K, while the Bi4O4S3 powder synthesized by the high-pressure method exhibited a low-intensity signal down to 2 K. Further annealing of the latter Bi4O4S3 powder under ambient pressure led to the development of a strong signal and zero resistivity. The crystal structures of all Bi4O4S3 phases consisted of Bi4O4Bi2S4 blocks including a Bi-S layer and anion(s) sandwiched between Bi4O4Bi2S4 blocks, but minor structural differences were detected. A comparison of the structures of the superconductive and nonsuperconductive Bi4O4S3 samples suggested that the superconductive Bi4O4S3 phases had slightly smaller lattice parameters. The average structures of the superconductive Bi4O4S3 phases were characterized by a slightly shorter and less bent Bi-S plane. Raman spectroscopy detected vibration of the S-O bonds, which can be attributed to sandwiched anion(s) such as SO4(2-). TEM observation showed stacking faults in the superconductive Bi4O4S3 phases, which indicated local fluctuation of the average structures. The observed superconductivity of Bi4O4S3 was discussed based on impurity phases, enhanced hybridization of the px and py orbitals of the Bi-S plane within Bi4O4Bi2S4 blocks, local fluctuation of the average structures, compositional deviation related to suspicious anion(s) sandwiched between Bi4O4Bi2S4 blocks, and the possibility of suppression of the charge-density-wave state by enriched carrier concentrations.

Abstract
BiCh2-based compounds (Ch: S, Se) are a new series of layered superconductors, and the mechanisms for the emergence of superconductivity in these materials have not yet been elucidated. In this study, we investigate the relationship between crystal structure and superconducting properties of the BiCh2-based superconductor family, specifically, optimally doped Ce1-xNdxO0.5F0.5BiS2 and LaO0.5F0.5Bi(S1-ySey)2. We use powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction to determine the crystal structures. We show that the structure parameter essential for the emergence of bulk superconductivity in both systems is the in-plane chemical pressure, rather than Bi-Ch bond lengths or in-plane Ch-Bi-Ch bond angle. Furthermore, we show that the superconducting transition temperature for all REO0.5F0.5BiCh2 superconductors can be determined from the in-plane chemical pressure.

Abstract
LaO(0.5)F(0.5)BiSe(2) is a new layered superconductor discovered recently, which shows the superconducting transition temperature of 3.5 K. With angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we study the electronic structure of LaO(0.5)F(0.5)BiSe(2) comprehensively. Two electron-like bands are located around the X point of the Brillouin zone, and the outer pockets connect with each other and form large Fermi surface around Γ and M. These bands show negligible k(z) dispersion, indicating their two-dimensional nature. Based on the Luttinger theorem, the carrier concentration is about 0.53 e(-) per unit cell, close to its nominal value. Moreover, the photoemission data and the band structure calculations agree very well, and the renormalization factor is nearly 1.0, indicating the electron correlations in this material are rather weak. Our results suggest that LaO(0.5)F(0.5)BiSe(2) is a conventional BCS superconductor without strong electron correlations.
