Abstract

By using a hydrostatic pressure, we have successfully tuned the normal state property and superconductivity in LaO0.5F0.5BiSe2 single crystals. It is found that, with the increase of pressure, the original superconducting phase with Tc∼3.5 K can be tuned to a state with lower Tc, and then a new superconducting phase with Tc∼6.5 K emerges. Accompanied by this crossover, the normal state is switched from that with a low temperature resistivity upturning to a metallic one. Accordingly, the normal state resistivity also shows a nonmonotonic change with the external pressure. Furthermore, by applying a magnetic field, the new superconducting state under pressure with Tc∼6.5 K is suppressed, and the recovered normal state reveals a resistivity-upturning feature again. These results illustrate a nontrivial relationship between the normal state property and superconductivity in this newly discovered superconducting system.
