Bi kagome sublattice distortions by quenching and flux pinning in superconducting RbBi${}_2$

Sharon S. Philip, Junjie Yang, P. F. S. Rosa +3

The properties of RbBi${}_2$, a 4.15 K superconductor, were investigated using magnetic field, pressure and neutron diffraction. Under hydrostatic pressure, an almost 50 % reduction…
