Investigation of the Superconducting and Structural Properties of Trigonal PtBi<sub>2</sub> Single Crystals

POSTER

Abstract

In this research, we explored the intriguing structural and superconducting properties of trigonal PtBi2 single crystals. Layered material t-PtBi2 exhibits a unique P31m structure. Our investigation focused on the complex interplay between their unique structural attributes and their emergent physical properties. Recent studies highlighted the novel topological states and transport behaviors of this material, notably the presence of triply degenerate point (TP) fermions and inherent topological semimetallic behaviors. Significant potential in its superconducting capabilities positions the trigonal PtBi2 as a compelling subject in the realm of condensed matter physics.
