solid state reaction route via vacuum encapsulation technique at 800° C for 12h. Both the
samples are crystallized in tetragonal P4/nmm space group with lattice parameters a= 4.066
(1) Å, c= 13.862 (4) Å for LaOBiS2; a= 4.069 (5) Å, c= 13.366 (2) Å for LaO0. 5F0. 5BiS2.
Bulk superconductivity is confirmed in LaO0. 5F0. 5BiS2 with superconducting transition
temperature (Tc) of 2.7 K by DC magnetization and resistivity measurements. The isothermal …
