摘要:

在拓扑型超导体PbTaSe $_2$中,由于在静水压力下的结构转变,导致了一阶电阻率滞后.这种结构转变在压力$\sim$ 0.25 GPa下被迅速抑制到零。其结果是,超导性表现出显着的抑制,伴随着根本的变化,在磁阻和霍尔电阻率,这表明在$\sim$ 0.25 GPa附近的Lifshitz转变。第一性原理计算结果表明,在布里渊区中,当外加小气压时,自旋轨道相互作用使$K$点附近的Dirac节线部分地被拉开,而$H$点附近的Dirac态被完全破坏.计算结果进一步揭示了在高达$\sim$ 30 GPa的压力下的第二结构相变,通过该相变,从拓扑非平凡相到平凡相的转变被揭示,在该高压相下出现超导圆顶。

英文摘要:

A first-order-like resistivity hysteresis is induced by a subtle structural transition under hydrostatic pressure in the topological nodal-line superconductor PbTaSe$_2$. This structure transition is quickly suppressed to zero at pressure $\sim$0.25 GPa. As a result, superconductivity shows a marked suppression, accompanied with fundamental changes in the magnetoresistance and Hall resistivity, suggesting a Lifshitz transition around $\sim$0.25 GPa. The first principles calculations show that the spin-orbit interactions partially gap out the Dirac nodal line around $K$ point in the Brillouin zone upon applying a small pressure, whilst the Dirac states around $H$ point are completely destroyed. The calculations further reveal a second structural phase transition under a pressure as high as $\sim$30 GPa, through which a transition from a topologically nontrivial phase to a trivial phase is uncovered, with a superconducting dome emerging under this high-pressure phase.
