Superconductivity in Bi based Bi2PdPt
Abstract
We report synthesis and properties of superconducting Bi2PdPt, a new member of Bi-Pd based compounds known for their simultaneous existence of topological surfaces states and superconductivity. It crystallizes in a hexagonal structure having space group P63/mmc. A detailed investigation of the properties via transport, magnetization, and specific heat measurements confirm bulk superconductivity with transition temperature, TC = 4.0(1) K in moderate coupling limit.
