Abstract

The measurements of the electrical resistivity and the low temperature heat capacity in the superconducting (La_1-yM_y)₃S₄ compounds with M = vacancy, Sc, Y, Ce, Lu, and Th were made in zero field and in magnetic fields up to 16 and 10 T, respectively. The optimum superconducting properties appear in the cubic La_0.97Th_0.03S_1.333, which has ∼10% higher T_c and about a threefold higher H_c2(0) than the hypothetical values in the tetragonal LaS_1.333. The relationship between H_c2(0) and T_c (i.e. H_c2(0) = C₀T_c, where C₀ = 1.96 and 1.32 T/K for the cubic and tetragonal phases, respectively ) is found in a series of La_1-yM_yS_x compounds. The high H_c2(0) values for the cubic compounds originate in the anomalously large values of the residual resistivity, which may reflect the instability of the cubic lattice.
