We have successfully synthesized the new BiS2-based superconductor NdOBiS2 by F doping. This compound is composed of superconducting BiS2 layers and blocking NdO layers, which indicates that the BiS2 layer is analogous to the CuO2 layer in cuprates or to the Fe–As layer in Fe-based superconductors. We can obtain NdO1-xFxBiS2 with bulk superconductivity by a solid-state reaction. Therefore, NdO1-xFxBiS2 should be a suitable material for elucidating the mechanism of superconductivity in the BiS2 layer.
