Charge density wave and superconductivity in 6R-TaS2 (2206.00281v3)

Published 1 Jun 2022 in cond-mat.supr-con and cond-mat.mtrl-sci

Abstract: The layered transition metal dichalcogenide compounds 1T-TaS2 and 4H-TaS2 are well known for their exotic properties, which include charge density wave, superconductivity, Mott transition, etc., and lately quantum spin liquid. Here, we report the magnetic, transport and transmission electron microscopy study of the charge density wave and superconductivity in 6R-TaS2 which is a relatively less studied polymorph of this dichalcogenide TaS2. Our high temperature electron microscopy reveals multiple charge density wave transitions between room temperature and 650K. Magnetization, and the electrical resistivity measurements in the temperature range of 2-400 K reveal that 6R-TaS2 undergoes a charge density wave transition around 305 K and is followed by a transition to a superconducting state around 3.5 K. The low temperature specific heat measurement exhibits anomaly associated with the superconducting transition around 2.4 K. The estimated Ginzburg Landau parameter suggests that this compound lies at the extreme limit of type-II superconductivity.
