Abstract
A strontium tantalum sulfide, SrTa2S5, has a hexagonal structure with lattice constants of a=3.32 and c=24.1 Angstrom. With decreasing tempe rature the electrical resistivity decreases monotonically and exhibits an abrupt superconducting transition at 3.16 K (midpoint). The diamag netic susceptibility is observed below T-c. The magnetic susceptibilit y is nearly independent of temperature above T-c and shows Pauli param agnetism.
