Sr2VO3-δFeAs superconductors with different oxygen deficiencies have been successfully fabricated.It is found that the superconducting transition temperature drops down monotonically with the increase of nominal oxygen deficiency.The diminishing of superconductivity is accompanied by the enhancement of residual resistivity,indicating an anomalous scattering effect induced by the oxygen deficiency.The highest superconducting transition temperature at about 36 K is achieved near the stoichiometrical sample Sr2VO2.9FeAs.The Hall effect measurements reveal that the density of charge carriers(electron-like here) varies qualitatively with the increase of nominal oxygen deficiency.Magnetotransport measurements show that the superconducting transition changes from one-step-like shape at low fields to two-step-like one at high fields,indicating an enhanced vortex motion due to the high anisotropy.

The alloys of non-centrosymmetric superconductor, Re3W, which were reported to have an ^-Mn structure [P. Greenfield and P. A. Beck, J. Metals, N. Y. 8, 265 (1959)] with Tc = 9K, are prepared by arc melting. The values of ac susceptibility and the low-temperature specific heat of these alloys are measured. It is found that there are two superconducting phases coexisting in the samples with Tc1 ≈ 9 K and Tc2 ≈ 7K, which are both non-centrosymmetric in structure as reported previously. By analysing the specific heat data measured in various magnetic fields down to a temperature of 1.8 K, we find that the absence of the inversion symmetry does not lead to an obvious deviation from an s-wave pairing symmetry in Re3W.
