Superconductivity and charge density wave formation in TlxV6S8

Abstract: We report on specific heat and resistivity measurements under hydrostatic pressure on the quasi-one dimensional metal Tl x V 6 S 8 . We studied the interplay between the low temperature superconducting (SC) ground state and a high temperature charge density wave (CDW) instability. We observed a clear dependency of the physical properties of Tl x V 6 S 8 on the Tl concentration x. The CDW anomaly is present in all investigated samples that are strongly enhanced at half Tl filling, x = 0.47. This is also the onl… Show more

“…2(a)). Similar behaviors were observed in typical CDW materials such as Lu5Rh4Si10 and TlxV6S8, but the corresponding hystereses are more distinct than that in PdTeI [24,25]. In contrast, there is almost no hysteresis for the transition at T2 (inset (b) of Fig.…”

“…This observation is compatible with the presence of a CDW lattice distortion. [ 37,48–50 ] Moreover, (TEA) y MoS 2 displays a superconducting transition below 3.9 K, reaching a well‐defined zero‐resistance final state (Figure 2d). This superconducting transition span 400 mK, a value greater than the one found for perfect, homogenous superconductors.…”

“…A tentative explanation would involve a deficient Cs 1– x V 6 S 8 , similar to what is observed for Ba x V 6 S 8 ( x = 0.41–0.48), where T c = 2.5 K,17 perhaps increasing T c to the here observed value by deficiency on the Cs site. A minor Cs 1– x V 6 S 8 impurity could also be responsible for the magnetic anomaly at 280 K, resembling a CDW formation, as observed for isostructural Tl 1– x V 6 S 8 18…”
