Ta2PdxS5 (x < 1.0) was found to show superconductivity at Tc ~ 6 K. The temperature dependent resistivity of single crystalline Ta2Pd0.92S5 showed that the system is strongly disordered due to Pd deficiencies and close to Anderson localized state. Superconductivity in the dirty limit as well as the temperature dependence of specific heat C(T) implies that superconductivity is s-wave. The upper critical field Hc2 at T = 0 K limit with the magnetic field parallel to the TaS6 chains was found to be as high as 31 T, exceeding the Pauli paramagnetic limit Hp = 10.2 T by a factor of 3. We argue that the absence of the paramagnetic pair-breaking originates from strong spin-orbit scattering due to Pd deficiencies embedded in the periodic lattice of heavy 5d Ta and 4d Pd.

Moire quantum matter has emerged as a novel materials platform where correlated and topological phases can be explored with unprecedented control. Among them, magic-angle systems constructed from two or three layers of graphene have shown robust supe rconducting phases with unconventional characteristics. However, direct evidence for unconventional pairing remains to be experimentally demonstrated. Here, we show that magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene (MATTG) exhibits superconductivity up to in-plane magnetic fields in excess of 10 T, which represents a large ($2sim3$ times) violation of the Pauli limit for conventional spin-singlet superconductors. This observation is surprising for a system which is not expected to have strong spin-orbit coupling. Furthermore, the Pauli limit violation is observed over the entire superconducting phase, indicating that it is not related to a possible pseudogap phase with large superconducting amplitude pairing. More strikingly, we observe reentrant superconductivity at large magnetic fields, which is present in a narrower range of carrier density and displacement field. These findings suggest that the superconductivity in MATTG is likely driven by a mechanism resulting in non-spin-singlet Cooper pairs, where the external magnetic field can cause transitions between phases with potentially different order parameters. Our results showcase the richness of moire superconductivity and may pave a new route towards designing next-generation exotic quantum matter.
A directed narrow jet of an organo-metallic gas containing a heavy metal can be decomposed by an accelerated beam of gallium ions, leaving behind a track made up of a complex residue of gallium, heavy metal and carbon. The process is highly controlla ble and in certain cases, the residue has remarkable superconducting properties, like an upper critical field ($H_{c2} sim 10~{rm T} $) that is higher than the paramagnetic limit. Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg (WHH) analysis shows the presence of moderate spin-orbit (SO) scattering and a Maki parameter compatible with unconventional (e.g., FFLO-like) superconducting states. Using a spatially resolved mass spectrometric technique (Atomic probe tomography), we show that the possible origin of the SO effects lies in the formation of nano-crystalline tungsten carbide (WC) with a possible non-centrosymmetric crystal structure. We also show that when Ga is distributed on the surface of nano-crystallite WC, the sp-orbitals of Ga give rise to bands with a significant density of states near the Fermi energy. The superconductor is in the dirty limit where the mean free path ($l$) is much smaller than the zero temperature coherence length, i.e., $lllxi_{0}~{approx}~5{~rm nm}$. Low-temperature magnetotransport with {em in-situ} rotation of the sample in a magnetic field shows clear anisotropic effects that weaken as the width of the tracks are increased from $sim~100{~rm nm}$ to $sim~1{~ {mu}rm m}$ [Phys. Rev. B 103, L020504, 2021]. The combination of the transition temperature ($T_c~{approx}~5~ {rm K}$), the critical field $H_{c2} geq 10~ {rm T}$ and nanometer-scale patternability of these tracks make them an attractive component for engineered mesoscopic structures.

The upper critical field Hc2(T) of the multiband superconductor KFe2As2 has been studied via low-temperature thermal expansion and magnetostriction measurements. We present compelling evidence for Pauli-limiting effects dominating Hc2(T) for H || a, as revealed by a crossover from second- to first-order phase transitions to the superconducting state in the magnetostriction measurements down to 50 mK. Corresponding features were absent for H || c. To our knowledge, this crossover constitutes the first confirmation of Pauli limiting of the Hc2(T) of a multiband superconductor. The results are supported by modeling Pauli limits for single-band and multiband cases.

A new iron arsenide superconducting system LiFeAs was found that crystallizes into a tetragonal structure with space group P4/nmm. The superconductivity with Tc up to 18 K was observed in the compounds. This simple 111 type layered iron arsenide supe rconductor can be viewed as an analogue of the infinite layer structure of copper oxides.

Here we report the fabrication and superconductivity of the iron-based arsenic-oxide GdFeAsO1-delta compound with oxygen-deficiency, which has an onset resistivity transition temperature at 53.5 K. This material has a same crystal structure as the ne wly discovered high-Tc ReFeAsO1-delta family (Re = rare earth metal) and a further reduced crystal lattice, while the Tc starts to decrease compared with the SmFeAsO1-delta system.
