Abstract

We succeeded in substituting slight K for Cu in the parent thiospinel material Cu1.5Co1.5S4. It is found that Cu1.3K0.2Co1.5S4 undergoes a superconducting transition at 4.4K, and no antiferromagnetism was observed around 20K, which was supposed to be one of the characteristics of superconductor Cu1.5Co1.5S4 (Tc∼4.0K). We conclude that the antiferromagnetism of thiospinel Cu1.5Co1.5S4 may stem from tetrahedral A site occupied by Cu atoms and there is no direct relationship between superconductivity and antiferromagnetism.
