Abstract
The family of BiS2-based superconductors has attracted considerable attention since their discovery in 2012 due to the unique structural and electronic properties of these materials. Several experimental and theoretical studies have been performed to explore the basic properties and the underlying mechanism for superconductivity. In this review, we discuss the current understanding of pairing symmetry in BiS2-based superconductors and particularly the role of point-contact spectroscopy in unravelling the mechanism underlying the superconducting state. We also review experimental results obtained with different techniques including angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, scanning tunnelling spectroscopy, specific heat measurements, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The integration of experimental results and theoretical predictions sheds light on the complex interplay between electronic correlations, spin fluctuations, and Fermi surface topology in determining the coupling mechanism. Finally, we highlight recent advances and future directions in the field of BiS2-based superconductors, underlining the potential technological applications.
