Superconductivity in noncentrosymmetric NbReSi investigated by muon spin rotation and relaxation

Noncentrosymmetric materials are promising paradigm to explore unconventional superconductivity. In particular, several Re containing noncentrosymmetric materials have attracted considerable attention due to a superconducting state with a broken time reversal symmetry. A comprehensive study on the superconducting ground state of NbReSi was investigated using magnetization, resistivity, and muon spin rotation/relaxation measurements. Zero field muon spectroscopy results showed the absence of any spontaneous magnetic field below the superconducting transition temperature, T\( _{c} \) = 6.29 K, indicating the preserved time-reversal symmetry. Transverse field muon spin rotation measurements confirms a s-wave nature of the sample with \(\Delta(0)/k_{B}T_{c} \) = 1.726. This study urges further investigation on more noncentrosymmetric materials to elucidate the selective appearance of unconventional nature and unveil its dependence on antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling strength.
