Both superconductivity and thermoelectricity offer promising prospects for daily energy efficiency applications. The advancements of thermoelectric materials have led to the huge improvement of the thermoelectric figure of merit in the past decade. By applying pressure on a highly efficient thermoelectric material Cu$_{3}$Sb$_{0.98}$Al$_{0.02}$Se$_4$, we achieve dome-shape superconductivity developing at around 8.5 GPa but having a maximum critical temperature of 3.2 K at pressure of 12.7 GPa. The novel superconductor is realized through the first-order structural transformation from its initial phase to an orthorhombic one. The superconducting phase is determined in the ultimate formation of the Cu-Al-Sb-Se alloy.
Unconventional superconductivity is characterized by the spontaneous symmetry breaking of the macroscopic superconducting wavefunction in addition to the gauge symmetry breaking, such as rotational-symmetry breaking with respect to the underlying cry
Nematic states are characterized by rotational symmetry breaking without translational ordering. Recently, nematic superconductivity, in which the superconducting gap spontaneously lifts the rotational symmetry of the lattice, has been discovered. Ho
The recently discovered kagome superconductor CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ ($T_c simeq 2.5$ K) has been found to host charge order as well as a non-trivial band topology, encompassing multiple Dirac points and probable surface states. Such a complex and phenomenolo
Thermal conductivity measurements were performed on single crystal samples of the superconducting filled skutterudite compounds PrOs$_4$Sb$_{12}$ and PrRu$_4$Sb$_{12}$ both as a function of temperature and magnetic field applied perpendicular to the
We report a high-pressure single crystal study of the topological superconductor Cu$_x$Bi$_2$Se$_3$. Resistivity measurements under pressure show superconductivity is depressed smoothly. At the same time the metallic behavior is gradually lost. The u
