We succeeded in synthesizing a new intermetallic compound with a AuCu3-type structure, LaBi3, by utilizing a high-pressure technique. Reacting Bi and LaBi at 450 °C under a pressure of 3.4 GPa resulted in the crystallization of LaBi3 with an a-axis lattice parameter of 4.99 ± 0.02 Å. ?> Sharp superconducting transitions were observed in both its magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity at 7.3–7.4 K. The upper critical field 0 H c 2 ( 0 ) ?> and Ginzburg–Landau coherence length ξ0 were estimated to be 1.70 T and 139 Å, respectively. The superconducting transition temperature Tc was found to decrease linearly with increasing applied pressure with a slope of −0.26 K GPa−1. Band structure calculations indicated that this compound has a multiband nature and that its Fermi energy is located exactly at one of the peak density of states.
