Superconductivity in a Misfit Phase That Combines the Topological Crystalline Insulator Pb_1-xSn_xSe with the CDW-Bearing Transition Metal Dichalcogenide TiSe₂

Journal Article Luo, H.; Yan, K.; Pletikosic, I.; ... - Journal of the Physical Society of Japan

We report the characterization of the misfit compound (Pb_1-xSn_xSe₂)1.16(TiSe₂)₂ for 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.6, in which a [100] rocksalt-structure bilayer of Pb1-xSnxSe, which is a topological crystalline insulator in bulk form, alternates with a double layer of the normally nonsuperconducting transition metal dichalcogenide TiSe₂. The x dependence of Tc displays a weak dome-like shape with a maximum Tc of 4.5 K at x = 0.2; there is only a subtle change in Tc at the composition where the trivial to topological transition occurs in bulk Pb1-xSnxSe. We present the characterization of the superconductor at x = 0.4, for whichmore »« less

Surface-state-dominated transport in crystals of the topological crystalline insulator In-doped Pb_1-xSn_xTe

Journal Article Zhong, Ruidan; He, Xugang; Schneeloch, J.; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Three-dimensional topological insulators and topological crystalline insulators represent new quantum states of matter, which are predicted to have insulating bulk states and spin-momentum-locked gapless surface states. Experimentally, it has proven difficult to achieve the high bulk resistivity that would allow surface states to dominate the transport properties over a substantial temperature range. Here we report a series of indium-doped Pb_1-xSn_xTe compounds that manifest huge bulk resistivities together with evidence consistent with the topological character of the surface states for x ≳ 0.35, based on thickness-dependent transport studies and magnetoresistance measurements. For these bulk-insulating materials, the surface states determine the resistivitymore » for temperatures beyond 20 K.« less

Electron-phonon coupling and superconductivity in the doped topological crystalline insulator ${({Pb}_{0.5} {Sn}_{0.5})}_{1 - x} {In}_{x} Te$

Journal Article Sapkota, A.; Li, Y.; Winn, B.; ... - Physical Review B

We present a neutron-scattering study of phonons in single crystals of (Pb0.5Sn0.5)1-xInxTe with x=0 (metallic, but nonsuperconducting) and x=0.2 (nonmetallic normal state, but superconducting). We map the phonon dispersions (more completely for x=0) and find general consistency with theoretical calculations, except for the transverse and longitudinal optical (LO) modes at the Brillouin-zone center. At low temperature, both modes are strongly damped but sit at a finite energy (≈4meV in both samples), shifting to higher energy at room temperature. These modes are soft due to a proximate structural instability driven by the sensitivity of Pb-Te and Sn-Te p-orbital hybridization to off-centermore »« less
