Superconductivity in Topological Parent Compound Induced via Pressure

ORAL

Abstract

We report successful observation of pressure induced superconductivity in topological compound of Bi$_{2}$Te$_{3}$ single crystal induced via pressure [1]. The combined high pressure structure investigations with first-principles calculations indicated that the superconductivity occurs at the ambient phase of topologically nontrivial. The results suggest topological superconductivity can be realized in the parent state of Bi$_{2}$Te$_{3}$ topological material. Ref: [1] J. L.
