Superconductivity in single crystalline LuPd2Si2 probed by heat capacity measurements

Single-crystalline samples of LuPd2Si2 were studied by means of low-temperature specific heat measurements performed in a magnetic field oriented along two main crystallographic directions. The compound was found to be superconducting below 0.6 K, in agreement with previous reports. Detailed analysi...

Description
Summary:Single-crystalline samples of LuPd2Si2 were studied by means of low-temperature specific heat measurements performed in a magnetic field oriented along two main crystallographic directions. The compound was found to be superconducting below 0.6 K, in agreement with previous reports. Detailed analysis of the phase-transition anomaly revealed that LuPd2Si2 is a BCS-like superconductor with anisotropic properties and a possible two-gap character.
