摘要:

非中心对称超导体由于其自旋单重态和自旋三重态库珀对的混合等令人兴奋的性质而引起了人们极大的研究兴趣。在这里,我们报告的$μ$ SR和热力学测量的非中心对称的超导体La 7 Rh 3表明一个完全建立的超导能隙和自发的时间反演对称性破缺的超导开始。我们表明,我们的研究结果构成了严格的限制,任何微观理论的超导系统。对称性分析确定基态兼容的时间反演对称性破缺和由此产生的间隙功能进行了讨论。此外,一般精力充沛的考虑表明电子-电子相互作用的配对机制的相关性,根据磁化率测量中揭示的自旋波动的提示。

英文摘要:

Noncentrosymmetric superconductors have sparked significant research interests due to their exciting properties, such as the admixture of spin-singlet and spin-triplet Cooper pairs. Here we report $μ$SR and thermodynamic measurements on the noncentrosymmetric superconductor La7Rh3 which indicate a fully established superconducting gap and spontaneous time-reversal-symmetry breaking at the onset of superconductivity. We show that our results pose severe constraints on any microscopic theory of superconductivity in the system. A symmetry analysis identifies ground states compatible with time-reversal-symmetry breaking and the resulting gap functions are discussed. Furthermore, general energetic considerations indicate the relevance of electron-electron interactions for the pairing mechanism, in accordance with hints of spin-fluctuations revealed in susceptibility measurements.
