TLDR
A new system of high-temperature superconductors is reported, where A is Cu, Zn, Mg, Ag, Cd, Sn, or Pb, and the compounds are rhombohedral with transition temperatures ranging from ∼ 2.5�K for the Cd compound to ∼ 13�Kfor the Pb compound.
Abstract
A new system of high-temperature superconductors is reported. The compounds, Mo6 - xAxS6 where A is Cu, Zn, Mg, Ag, Cd, Sn, or Pb, are rhombohedral with a ≃6.5 angstroms and ∼90°. The transition temperatures range from ∼ 2.5°K for the Cd compound to ∼ 13°K for the Pb compound.

Chevrel phases: Superconducting and normal state properties

Ø. Fischer
- 01 May 1978 - 
TL;DR: In this article, many unusual properties of the ternary molybdenum chalcogenides of the type MMo6X8 (M=Metal, X = Chalcogen) are reviewed and special emphasis is put on the superconducting properties like critical temperature, critical field and the problem of coexistence of magnetism and superconductivity.

MoS2 Nanostructures: Synthesis and Electrochemical Mg2+ Intercalation

TL;DR: In this paper, the electrochemical properties of annealed MoS2 samples were investigated and it was shown that Mg2+ ions showed better reversibly intercalation/deintercalation cycles in as-synthesized MoS 2 nanostructures than in bluk MoS1 samples.

Instabilities of High Temperature Superconductors

TL;DR: The transition temperature of both the cubic and tetragonal phases of several high-temperature beta-W superconductors are observed, and the instability of the cubic lattice appears to be characteristic of high-Temperaturesuperconductors.
