Abstract The interplay between electronic topological phase transitions and superconductivity in the field of condensed matter physics has consistently captivated researchers. Here we have succeeded in modulating the Lifshitz transition by pressure and realized superconductivity. At 25.7 GPa, superconductivity with a transition temperature of 1.9 K has been observed in 3R-NbS. The Hall coefficient changes from negative to positive at 14 GPa, indicating a Lifshitz transition in 3R-NbS, and the carrier concentration continues to increase with increasing pressure. X-ray diffraction results indicate that the appearance of superconductivity cannot be attributable to structural transitions. Based on theoretical calculations, the emergence of a new band is attributed to the Lifshitz transition and the new band coincides with the Fermi surface at the pressure of 30 GPa. These findings provide new insights into the relationship between the Lifshitz transition and superconductivity.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
