Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāTin sulfide (SnS) was successfully synthesized in single crystals by a melt\nand slow-cooling method. The obtained sample was characterized by an X-ray\ndiffraction, an energy dispersive spectrometry, and an X-ray photoelectron\nspectroscopy. Electrical transport properties in SnS were investigated under\nhigh pressure using a diamond anvil cell with boron-doped metallic diamond\nelectrodes and undoped diamond insulating layer. We successfully observed an\ninsulator to metal transition from 12.5 GPa and pressure-induced\nsuperconductivity at 5.8 K under 47.8 GPa as predicted by a theoretical\ncalculation.\n
