Electronic structure, irreversibility line and magnetoresistance of Cu 0.3Bi 2Se 3 superconductor
Cu xBi 2Se 3 is a superconductor that is a potential candidate for topological superconductors. We report our laser-based angle-resolved photoemission measurement on the electronic structure of the Cu xBi 2Se 3 superconductor, and a detailed magneto-resistance measurement in both normal and superconducting states. We find that the topological surface state of the pristine Bi 2Se 3 topological insulator remains robust after the Cu-intercalation, while the Dirac cone location moves downward due to electron doping. Detailed measurements on the magnetic field-dependence of the resistance in the superconducting state establishes an irreversibility line and gives a value of the upper critical field at zero temperature of ~4000 Oe for the Cu 0.3Bi 2Se 3 superconductor with a middle point T c of 1.9K. The relation between the upper critical field Hc2 and temperature T is different from the usual scaling relation found in cuprates and in other kinds of superconductors. Small positive magneto-resistance is observed in Cu 0.3Bi 2Se 3 superconductors up to room temperature. As a result, these observations provide useful information for further study of this possible candidate for topological superconductors.
