S-wave pairing symmetry in non-centrosymmetric superconductor Re3W
نویسندگان
چکیده
The alloys of non-centrosymmetric superconductor, Re3W, which were reported to have an α-Mn structure [P. Greenfield and P. A. Beck, J. Metals, N. Y. 8, 265 (1959)] with Tc = 9 K were prepared by arc melting. The ac susceptibility and low-temperature specific heat were measured on these alloys. It is found that there are two superconducting phases coexisting in the samples with Tc1 ∼ 9 K and Tc2 ∼ 7 K, both of which have a non-centrosymmetric structure as reported previously. By analyzing the specific heat data measured in various magnetic fields, we found that the absence of the inversion symmetry does not lead to the deviation from a s-wave pairing symmetry in Re3W.

To understand the mechanism of superconductivity in unconventional super onductors is one of the big challenges in the field of superconductivity. Based on the BCS theory, there is a direct relation between the pairing mechanism and the symmetry of the order parameter. Therefore, identification of the structure of the superconducting gap or the order parameter provides key information on the pa...
متن کاملProximity effect in ferromagnet - superconductor hybrid structures : role of the pairing symmetry
The spatial variations of the pair amplitude, and the local density of states in d-wave or s-wave superconductor-ferromagnet hybrid structures are calculated self consistently using the Bogoliubov-deGennes formalism within the two dimensional extended Hubbard model. We describe the proximity effect in superconductor / ferromagnet (SF) bilayers, FSF trilayers, and interfaces between a supercondu...
متن کاملTheory of nodal s±-wave pairing symmetry in the Pu-based 115 superconductor family
The spin-fluctuation mechanism of superconductivity usually results in the presence of gapless or nodal quasiparticle states in the excitation spectrum. Nodal quasiparticle states are well established in copper-oxide, and heavy-fermion superconductors, but not in iron-based superconductors. Here, we study the pairing symmetry and mechanism of a new class of plutonium-based high-Tc superconducto...
متن کاملMagnetic field dependence of the superconducting gap node topology in non-centrosymmetric CePt3Si
Non-centrosymmetric superconductors, such as CePt3Si and Li2PtB2, are believed to have a line node in the energy gap arising from coexistence of s-wave and p-wave pairing. Using as an example CePt3Si we show that a weak c-axis magnetic field will remove this line node, since it has no topological stability against time-reversal symmetry breaking perturbations. Conversely a field in the a − b pl...
متن کاملOdd-frequency pairing in superconducting heterostructures.
We review the theory of odd-frequency pairing in superconducting heterostructures, where an odd-frequency pairing component is induced near interfaces. A general description of the superconducting proximity effect in a normal metal or a ferromagnet attached to an unconventional superconductor (S) is given within quasiclassical kinetic theory for various types of symmetry state in S. Various pos...
