The thermal conductivity κ of the superconductor Ir1−xPtxTe2 (x = 0.05) single crystal with strong spin-orbital coupling was measured down to 50 mK. The residual linear term κ0/T is negligible in zero magnetic field. In low magnetic field, κ0/T shows a slow field dependence. These results demonstrate that the superconducting gap of Ir1−xPtxTe2 is nodeless, and the pairing symmetry is likely a conventional s-wave, despite the existence of strong spin-orbital coupling and a quantum critical point.
A proximity effect of spin orbit coupling (SOC) is proposed in nonmagnetic metal/ferromagnet (NM/FM) bilayers by extending the Crépieux-Bruno (CB) theory. We demonstrate that over 1000% enhancement of the SOC strength can be realized based on this effect (Pt/FM bilayers) and it brings greatly enhanced anomalous Hall effect and anomalous Nernst effect. This work could help maximize the performance of magnetic transport property for the spintronics device using NM/FM as the key structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
