Intercalant-independent transition temperature in superconducting black phosphorus

No superconductivity could so far be achieved in black phosphorus in its normal orthorhombic form. Here, the authors demonstrate that intercalation with alkali metals makes black phosphorus superconducting with intercalant-independent transition temperature and near-identical superconducting charact...
