It has been reported that the misfit layered compound (LaS)1+δ(NbS2) does not exhibit superconductivity in magnetic measurements (≈0.07 K) or electrical resistance measurements (≈0.20 K). In this study, we attempted to induce superconductivity in (LaS)1+δ(NbS2) using two approaches: introducing holes by partially substituting La3+ sites with Sr2+, or introducing electrons by partially substituting La3+ sites with Hf4+ taking into account the possibility that electrons could be responsible for conduction.
