Nodeless superconductivity in a quasi-two-dimensional superconductor AuTe2Se4/3 Project supported by the Key Basic Research Program of China (Grant Nos. 2015CB921401 and 2016YFA0300503), the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant Nos. 11422429 and 11421404), China Postdoctoral Science Foundation (Grant No. 2016T90332), the Program for Professor of Special Appointment (Eastern Scholar) at Shanghai Institutions of Higher Learning, and STCSM of China (Grant No. 15XD1500200), and the Strategic Priority Research Program (B) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Grant No. XDB04040200). |
(color online) (a) Low-temperature resistivity of AuTe2Se4/3 single crystal in magnetic fields up to 0.7 T. (b) Temperature dependence of the upper critical field Hc2(T), defined by ρ = 0. The dashed line is a linear fit to the data, which points to Hc2(0) ≈ 0.49 T. |
