Theoretical study of dynamical and electronic properties of noncentrosymmetric superconductor NbReSi

Abstract

The noncentrosymmetric NbReSi superconductor with $T_c\simeq 6.5$ K is characterized by the relatively large upper critical magnetic field. Its multigap features were observed experimentally. Recent studies suggested realization of P$\bar{6}$2m or Ima2 symmetry. We discuss the dynamical properties of both symmetries (e.g., phonon spectra). In this paper, using the ab initio techniques, we clarify this ambiguity, and conclude that the Ima2 symmetry is unstable, and P$\bar{6}$2m should be realized. The P$\bar{6}$2m symmetry is also stable in the presence of external hydrostatic pressure. We show that NbReSi with the P$\bar{6}$2m symmetry should host phonon surface states for (100) and (110) surfaces. Additionally, we discuss the main electronic properties of the system with the stable symmetry.
