Semiconducting Transport in LK99
Summary: A study by Li Liu and colleagues examined the claim of room-temperature superconductivity in modified lead-apatite. The researchers synthesized Pb2SO5, Cu3P, and the modified lead-apatite Pb10-xCux(PO4)6O, and analyzed their electrical transport and magnetic properties. Contrary to the claim, the resulting compound exhibited semiconductor-like transport behavior with a large room-temperature resistivity. The study suggests that the claim of room-temperature superconductivity in modified lead-apatite may need further examination.
