AI总结:

该研究在 TiSe2 中发现约15 GPa以上的第二个高压超导相,Tc最高达5.6 K,并结合实验与理论指出其源于P-3m1到Pnma结构相变且可能具有非传统超导机制。

摘要:

通过元素插层或施加压力,过渡金属二硫化物 1T-TiSe2 会在邻近电荷密度波(CDW)量子临界点(QCP)处表现出超导性,从而为研究这两种对称性破缺的奇异量子电子态之间的关联提供了理想途径。我们在此报告,除了在 2–4 GPa 低压范围内出现、并以约 1.8 K 的最高 Tc 达到峰值的著名超导穹顶之外,压力还诱导了另一个独立的超导转变;该转变始于约 15 GPa,且 Tc 显著更高,在约 21.5 GPa 时达到 5.6 K。高压 X 射线衍射和拉曼光谱测量揭示,这种超导重入由一级结构相变(从 P-3m1 空间群转变为 Pnma 空间群)引起,密度泛函理论计算也支持这一点。对比性理论计算还表明,传统的声子介导机制可以解释低压下 1T-TiSe2 的超导性,而高压下 4O-TiSe2 的电子–声子耦合过弱,不足以诱导 Tc 高达 5.6 K 的超导性。这意味着 4O-TiSe2 中新出现的超导性可能具有非传统起源。我们的发现将为通过高压在过渡金属二硫化物中发现更多奇异量子态打开一扇新窗口。

英文摘要:

Through either elements intercalation or application of pressure, transition metal dichalcogenide 1T-TiSe2 exhibits superconductivity in proximity to a charge density wave (CDW) quantum critical point (QCP), thus providing an ideal avenue to study the correlation between the two symmetry-breaking exotic quantum electronic states. We report herein that, in addition to the well-known superconducting dome that emerges within the low pressure range of 2 - 4 GPa and peaks with the maximal Tc of about 1.8 K, the pressure induces another separate superconducting transition starting around 15 GPa with a substantially higher Tc that reaches 5.6 K at about 21.5 GPa. The high-pressure X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy measurements unveil that the superconductivity reentrant is caused by a first-order structural phase transition (from P-3m1 space group to Pnma space group), which is also supported by the density functional theory calculation. A comparative theoretical calculation also reveals that the conventional phonon-mediated mechanism can account for the superconductivity of 1T-TiSe2 under low pressure, while the electron-phonon coupling of 4O-TiSe2 under high pressure is too weak to induce the superconductivity with a Tc as high as 5.6 K. This implies that the emergent superconductivity in the 4O-TiSe2 may have an unconventional origin. Our finding would open a new window toward the discovery of more exotic quantum states in transition metal dichalcogenides via high pressure.
