摘要:

近年来,由于ZrTe 5和HfTe 5都是层间弱键合的材料,并且在单层中具有较大的体隙,理论上它们被认为是最有前途的层状拓扑绝缘体。这为研究通过外参数调谐的新型拓扑量子现象开辟了一条新的途径。在这里,我们报告的发现超导性和性质的演变,在HfTe 5单晶通过压力诱导。实验结果表明,反常电阻峰先向低温移动,然后向高温反转,最后消失,这与ZrTe 5的低压效应相反。HfTe 5在高于~5.5 GPa时变为可压缩的,在测量范围内高达至少35 GPa。在20 GPa下获得了最高的超导转变温度(Tc),约为5 K。高压拉曼光谱揭示了在超导电性发生的压力附近出现了新的模式。晶体结构研究表明,超导性与Cmcm结构向单斜C2/m结构的相变有关。在12 GPa下发生了从C2/m结构到P-1结构的第二次相变。输运、结构测量和理论计算的结合使HfTe 5在高压下的相图成为可能。

英文摘要:

Recently, ZrTe5 and HfTe5 are theoretically studied to be the most promising layered topological insulators since they are both interlayer weakly bonded materials and also with a large bulk gap in the single layer. It paves a new way for the study of novel topological quantum phenomenon tuned via external parameters. Here, we report the discovery of superconductivity and properties evolution in HfTe5 single crystal induced via pressures. Our experiments indicated that anomaly resistance peak moves to low temperature first before reverses to high temperature followed by disappearance which is opposite to the low pressure effect on ZrTe5. HfTe5 became superconductive above ~5.5 GPa up to at least 35 GPa in the measured range. The highest superconducting transition temperature (Tc) around 5 K was achieved at 20 GPa. High pressure Raman revealed that new modes appeared around pressure where superconductivity occurs. Crystal structure studies shown that the superconductivity is related to the phase transition from Cmcm structure to monoclinic C2/m structure. The second phase transition from C2/m to P-1 structure occurs at 12 GPa. The combination of transport, structure measurement and theoretical calculations enable a completely phase diagram of HfTe5 at high pressures.
