Superconducting properties of the noncentrosymmetric superconductor LaPtGe

We report on the superconducting properties of noncentrosymmetric superconductor LaPtGe, which crystallizes in noncentrosymmetric α − ThSi2 structure. The magnetization, resistivity, and specific-heat measurements confirm that LaPtGe is a type-II bulk superconductor with a transition temperature Tc...

Zusammenfassung:We report on the superconducting properties of noncentrosymmetric superconductor LaPtGe, which crystallizes in noncentrosymmetric α − ThSi2 structure. The magnetization, resistivity, and specific-heat measurements confirm that LaPtGe is a type-II bulk superconductor with a transition temperature Tc = 3.05 ± 0.05 K. Muon-spin relaxation/rotation measurements suggest that time-reversal symmetry is preserved in the superconducting ground state.
