Superconducting Properties of Topological Semimetal 1$T$-RhSeTe

Abstract

Platinum-group transition-metal dichalcogenides have emerged as a subject of considerable interest in condensed matter physics due to their remarkable topological properties and unconventional superconducting behavior. In this study, we report the synthesis and superconducting characteristics of a new Dirac-type topological semimetallic compound 1$T$-RhSeTe. It shows type-II superconductivity with a superconducting transition temperature of 4.72 K and a high upper critical field. The coexistence of superconductivity and topological properties makes it a prime candidate for hosting topological superconductivity.
