Abstract

The structure of the novel two-dimensional superconductor, Na_xHfNCl (x = 0.29, T_c = 20 K) is determined by powder neutron diffraction measurement. Na_xHfNCl is isomorphous to Li_0.16ZrNCl, which also exhibits superconductivity with T_c = 15 K. The nearest interatomic distance of Hf-Hf (3.24 angstrom at 4 K) is longer than that of Zr-Zr (3.10 angstrom at 4 K) in Li_0.16ZrNCl. This structural change corresponds to the decrease in the transfer integral of the d bands in the Hf system, i.e. t_Hf/t_Zr approx. 0.85, indicating the enhancement of the density of states in Na_xHfNCl.
