Title: Fermi surface, possible unconventional fermions, and unusually robust resistive critical fields in the chiral-structured superconductor AuBe

Abstract

The noncentrosymmetric superconductor (NCS) AuBe is investigated using a variety of thermodynamic and resistive probes in magnetic fields of up to 65 T and temperatures down to 0.3 K. Despite the polycrystalline nature of the samples, the observation of a complex series of de Haas–van Alphen (dHvA) oscillations has allowed the calculated band structure for AuBe to be validated. This permits a variety of BCS parameters describing the superconductivity to be estimated, despite the complexity of the measured Fermi surface. In addition, AuBe displays a nonstandard field dependence of the phase of dHvA oscillations associated with a band thought to host unconventional fermions in this chiral lattice. Overall, this result demonstrates the power of the dHvA effect to establish the properties of a single band despite the presence of other electronic bands with a larger density of states, even in polycrystalline samples. In common with several other NCSs, we find that the resistive upper critical field exceeds that measured by heat capacity and magnetization by a considerable factor. We suggest that our data exclude mechanisms for such an effect associated with disorder, implying that topologically protected superconducting surface states may be involved.

Evidence for unconventional superconductivity and nontrivial topology in PdTe

Journal Article Chapai, Ramakanta ; Reddy, P. V. Sreenivasa ; Xing, Lingyi ; ... - Scientific Reports

Abstract PdTe is a superconductor with T _c ~ 4.25 K. Recently, evidence for bulk-nodal and surface-nodeless gap features has been reported in PdTe. Here, we investigate the physical properties of PdTe in both the normal and superconducting states via specific heat and magnetic torque measurements and first-principles calculations. Below T _c , the electronic specific heat initially decreases in T ³ behavior (1.5 K < T < T _c ) then exponentially decays. Using the two-band model, the superconducting specific heat can be well described with two energy gaps: one is 0.372 meV and another 1.93 meV. The calculated bulk band structure consists of twomore »« less

Topological behavior and Zeeman splitting in trigonal PtBi2-x single crystals

Abstract Transition-metal dipnictide PtBi ₂ exhibits rich structural and physical properties with topological semimetallic behavior and extremely large magnetoresistance (XMR) at low temperatures. We have investigated the electrical and magnetic properties of trigonal-phase PtBi _{2 -x} single crystals with x ~ 0.4. Profound de Haas–van Alphen (dHvA) and Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations are observed. Through fast Fourier transformation (FFT) analyses, four oscillation frequencies are extracted, which result from α, β, γ, and δ bands. By constructing the Landau fan diagram for each band, the Berry phase is extracted demonstrating the non-trivial nature of the α, β, and δ bands.more »« less

Emergence of intrinsic superconductivity below 1.178 K in the topologically non-trivial semimetal state of CaSn₃

Journal Article Zhu, Y. L. ; Hu, J. ; Womack, F. N. ; ... - Journal of Physics. Condensed Matter

Topological materials which are also superconducting are of great current interest, since they may exhibit a non-trivial topologically-mediated superconducting phase. Although there have been many reports of pressure-tuned or chemical-doping-induced superconductivity in a variety of topological materials, there have been few examples of intrinsic, ambient pressure superconductivity in a topological system having a stoichiometric composition. Here, we report that the pure intermetallic CaSn₃ not only exhibits topological fermion properties, but also has superconducting phase below 1.2 K under ambient pressure. The topological fermion properties, including the nearly zero quasi-particle mass and the non-trivial Berry phase of cyclotron orbits, were revealedmore »« less

Nontrivial Fermi surface topology of the kagome superconductor CsV₃Sb₅ probed by de Haas–van Alphen oscillations

Journal Article Shrestha, K. ; Chapai, R. ; Pokharel, Bal K. ; ... - Physical Review. B

Here, we have investigated the normal state Fermi-surface properties of the kagome superconductor CsV₃Sb₅ using torque magnetometry with applied fields (H) up to 35 T. The torque signal shows clear de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) oscillations above 15 T. The oscillations are smooth and consist of seven distinct frequencies with values from similar to ~18 T to 2135 T. The presence of higher frequencies in CsV₃Sb₅ is further confirmed by carrying out additional measurements using the tunnel diode oscillator technique. All frequencies measured at different tilt angles (θ) of the field direction with respect to the c axis show a 1/cosθmore »« less
