本文报道了我们对第二类狄拉克半金属PdTe 2超导态的点接触光谱(PCS)研究,其超导转变温度为1.65K.在0.3 K时,机械和软PCS微分电导曲线都显示出一致的双峰结构,并且它们可以根据Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk模型由单个s波间隙完美地拟合。差距遵循典型的Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer温度行为,在强耦合区产生$\Delta_0 \sim $0.29 meV和2$\Delta_0$/$k\rm_{B}$$T\rm_{c}$ = 4.15。对于PdTe 2上的大多数点接触,在磁场中H{\rm_{c1}}$ $\sim $130 Oe附近观察到超导能隙的突然抑制,这是I型超导体在磁场中的一级相变特征.然而,对于其他接触,PCS电导的平滑演变持续到$H{\rm_{c2}}$ $\sim $600 Oe,表明局部II型超导性。所观察到的I型和II型超导电性的混合物可能是由于PdTe 2表面的拓扑表面态引起的表面上的非均匀电子平均自由程引起的。
We report our point-contact spectroscopy (PCS) study on the superconducting state of the type-II Dirac semimetal PdTe$_2$ with a superconducting transition temperature $T\rm_c \sim$ 1.65 K. Both mechanical- and soft- PCS differential conductance curves at 0.3 K show a consistent double-peak structure and they can be perfectly fitted by a single s-wave gap based on the Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk model. The gap follows a typical Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer temperature behavior, yielding $\Delta_0 \sim$ 0.29 meV and 2$\Delta_0$/$k\rm_{B}$$T\rm_{c}$ = 4.15 in the strong coupling regime. A sudden suppression of the superconducting gap in magnetic field around $H{\rm_{c1}}$ $\sim$ 130 Oe is observed for most point-contacts on PdTe$_2$, characteristic of a first-order transition for type-I superconductor in field. However, for other contacts, a smooth evolution of the PCS conductance persists up to $H{\rm_{c2}}$ $\sim$ 600 Oe, signaling a local type-II superconductivity. The observed admixture of type-I and type-II superconductivity can possibly arise from an inhomogeneous electron mean free path on the surface of PdTe$_2$ due to its topological surface states.
