摘要:

近年来,Nb掺杂的拓扑绝缘体Bi_2Se_3(其中Nb原子的有限磁矩嵌入Bi_2Se_3层间的范德华能隙中)被证明具有超导性(Tc = 3 K)和拓扑表面态。在这里,我们报告的μ子旋转实验探测的温度依赖的有效磁穿透深度Lambda_eff(T)在层状拓扑超导体候选人Nb_(0.25)Bi_2Se_3。在低温下,λ_(eff)^(-2)(T)的指数温度关系表明,在超导转变温度T_c = 2.9 K,带隙与T_c之比2Delta/k_BT_c = 3.95(19)的体材料中存在一个完全带隙的超导态。我们还揭示了T_c/λ_(eff)^(-2)比与非常规超导体的T_c/λ_(eff)^(-2)比相当,这暗示了一种非常规的配对机制。此外,时间反演对称性破缺被排除在超导态与灵敏的零场muSR实验。我们希望目前的结果将刺激理论研究,以获得超导电性和Nb_0.25Bi_2Se_3的拓扑非平凡电子结构之间的关系的微观理解。

英文摘要:

Recently, the niobium (Nb)-doped topological insulator Bi_2Se_3, in which the finite magnetic moments of the Nb atoms are intercalated in the van der Waals gap between the Bi_2Se_3 layers, has been shown to exhibit both superconductivity with T_c = 3 K and topological surface states. Here we report on muon spin rotation experiments probing the temperature-dependent of effective magnetic penetration depth Lambda_eff(T) in the layered topological superconductor candidate Nb_0.25Bi_2Se_3. The exponential temperature dependence of lambda_(eff)^(-2)(T) at low temperatures suggests a fully gapped superconducting state in the bulk with the superconducting transition temperature T_c = 2.9 K and the gap to T_c ratio 2Delta/k_BT_c = 3.95(19). We also revealed that the ratio T_c/lambda_(eff)^(-2) is comparable to those of unconventional superconductors, which hints at an unconventional pairing mechanism. Furthermore, time reversal symmetry breaking was excluded in the superconducting state with sensitive zero-field muSR experiments. We hope the present results will stimulate theoretical investigations to obtain a microscopic understanding of the relation between superconductivity and the topologically non-trivial electronic structure of Nb_0.25Bi_2Se_3.
