Superconducting Properties and Absence of Time Reversal Symmetry Breaking in the Noncentrosymmetric Superconducting Compounds TaxRe1-x(0.1≤x≤0.25)

Unconventional superconductivity,in particular,in noncentrosymmetric systems,has been a long-sought topic in condensed matter physics.Recently,Re-based superconductors have attracted great attention owing to the potential time-reversal symmetry breaking in their superconducting states.We report the superconducting properties of noncentrosymmetric compounds Ta_xRe_1-x with 0.1 ≤x≤0.25,and find that the superconducting transition temperature reaches a maximum of ~8 K at the optimal level x=0.15.Nevertheless,muon-spin rotation and relaxation measurements reveal no time-reversal symmetry breaking existing in its superconducting state,which is in sharp contrast to both centrosymmetric Re metal and many other noncentrosymmetric Re-based superconductors.     

Magnetoresistance and Kondo Effect in Nodal-Line Semimetal VAs_2

We performed calculations of the electronic band structure and the Fermi surface,measured the longitudinal resistivity ρxx(T,H),Hall resistivity ρxy(T,H),and magnetic susceptibility as a function of temperature at various magnetic fields for VAs₂ with a monoclinic crystal structure.The band structure calculations show that VAs₂ is a nodal-line semimetal when spin-orbit coupling is ignored.The emergence of a minimum at around11 K in ρxx(T) measured at H=0 demonstrates that some additional magnetic impurities(V⁴⁺,S=1/2)exist in VAs₂ single crystals,inducing Kondo scattering,evidenced by both the fitting of ρxx(T) data and the susceptibility measurements.It is found that a large positive magnetoresistance(MR) reaching 649% at 10 K and 9 T,its nearly quadratic field dependence,and a field-induced up-turn behavior of ρxx(T) also emerge in VAs₂,although MR is not so large due to the existence of additional scattering compared with other topological nontrivial/trivial semimetals.The observed properties are attributed to a perfect charge-carrier compensation,which is evidenced by both the calculations relying on the Fermi surface and the Hall resistivity measurements.These results indicate that the compounds containing V(3d³4s²) element can be as a platform for studying the influence of magnetic impurities to the topological properties.     

Quantum critical behavior in an antiferromagnetic heavy-fermion Kondo lattice system(Ce_(1-x)La_x)_2Ir_3Ge_5

The measurements on temperature dependences of magnetic susceptibility χ(T), specific heat C(T), and electrical resistivity ρ(T) were carried out for the antiferromagnetic(AFM)(Ce_(1-x)La_x)_2Ir_3Ge_5(0 ≤ x ≤ 0.66) system. It was found that the Neel temperature TNdecreases with increasing La content x, and reaches 0 K near a critical content xcr =0.6. A new phase diagram was constructed based on these measurements. A non-Fermi liquid behavior in ρ(T) and a log T relationship in C(T) were found in the samples near xcr, indicating them to be near an AFM quantum critical point(QCP) with strong spin fluctuation. Our finding indicates that(Ce_(1-x)La_x)_2Ir_3Ge_5 may be a new platform to search for unconventional superconductivity.
