Abstract

We present detailed studies of the superconductivity in high-pressure H3S. X-ray diffraction measurements show that cubic Im3¯m H3S was synthesized from elemental sulfur and hydrogen donor ammonia borane (NH3BH3). Our electrical transport measurements confirm superconductivity with a transition temperature Tc=197K at 153GPa. From the analysis of both the normal-state resistivity and the slope of the critical field, we conclude that the superconductivity is described by clean-limit behavior. A significant broadening of the resistive transition in finite magnetic field is found, as expected for superconductors. We identify a linear temperature-over-field scaling of the resistance at the superconducting transition which is not described by existing theories.
