摘要： The alloys of non-centrosymmetric superconductor, Re3W, which were reported to have an α-Mn structure [P. Greenfield and P. A. Beck, J. Metals, N. Y. 8, 265 (1959)] with Tc=9K, are prepared by arc melting. The values of ac susceptibility and the low-temperature specific heat of these alloys are measured. It is found that there are two superconducting phases coexisting in the samples with Tc1≈9K and Tc2≈7K, which are both non-centrosymmetric in structure as reported previously. By analysing the specific heat data measured in various magnetic fields down to a temperature of 1.8K, we find that the absence of the inversion symmetry does not lead to an obvious deviation from an s$-wave pairing symmetry in Re3W.

Abstract: The alloys of non-centrosymmetric superconductor, Re$_3$W, which were reported to have an $\alpha$-Mn structure [P. Greenfield and P. A. Beck, J. Metals, N. Y. 8, 265 (1959)] with $T_{\rm c}=9$ K, are prepared by arc melting. The values of ac susceptibility and the low-temperature specific heat of these alloys are measured. It is found that there are two superconducting phases coexisting in the samples with $T_{\rm c1}\approx9$ K and $T_{\rm c2}\approx7$ K, which are both non-centrosymmetric in structure as reported previously. By analysing the specific heat data measured in various magnetic fields down to a temperature of 1.8 K, we find that the absence of the inversion symmetry does not lead to an obvious deviation from an $s$-wave pairing symmetry in Re$_3$W.
