(author), West, D.V. (author), Cava, R.J. (author) We report the characterization of layered 2H-type CuxTaS2 for 0?x?0.12. The charge density wave (CDW), at 70 K for TaS2, is destabilized with Cu doping. The sub-1 K superconducting transition in undoped 2H-TaS2 jumps quickly to 2.5 K at low x, increases to 4.5 K at the optimal composition Cu0.04TaS2, and then decreases at higher x. The...
