Coexistence between superconductivity and magnetism is reported for the KxMoO2−δ samples. Photoemission experiments show that the presence of Mo3+ ions is responsible for the weak ferromagnetic ordering observed in the KxMoO2−δ samples. Magnetic ordering temperature and superconducting critical temperature (TC) ratio range from 7 to 18 in this compound. These are the highest ratios reported so far for a magnetic superconductor. TC decreases with increasing potassium composition (x). For the first time, TC near 10 K is reported in the K-Mo-O system.
