Superconductivity in quasi-one-dimensional K${}_2$Cr${}_3$As${}_3$ with significant electron correlations

Abstract

We report the discovery of bulk superconductivity (SC) at 6.1 K in a quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) chromium pnictide K${}_2$Cr${}_3$As${}_3$ which contains [(Cr${}_3$As${}_3$)${}^{2-}$]${}_{\infty }$ double-walled subnano-tubes with face-sharing Cr${}_{6/2}$ (As${}_{6/2}$) octahedron linear chains in the inner (outer) wall. The material has a large electronic specific-heat coefficient of 70$\sim$75 mJ K${}^{-2}$ mol${}^{-1}$, indicating significantly strong electron correlations. Signature of non-Fermi liquid behavior is shown by the linear temperature dependence of resistivity in a broad temperature range from 7 to 300 K. Unconventional SC is preliminarily manifested by the estimated upper critical field exceeding the Pauli limit by a factor of three to four. The title compound represents a rare example that possibly unconventional SC emerges in a Q1D system with strong electron correlations.

Specific-heat data down to 0.5 K were added
