Abstract

The superconducting gap symmetry of β−PdBi2 is studied by measuring the London penetration depth Δλ(T) as well as the heat capacity CP(T,B). In the low temperature limit, both the penetration depth Δλ(T) and the electronic specific heat Ce(T)/T follow exponential-type temperature dependence, providing evidence for fully gapped superconductivity in this compound. Analysis of the superfluid density ρs(T) suggests single-gap s-wave superconductivity for β−PdBi2, which is further supported by the linear field dependence of the Sommerfeld coefficient γ0(B) determined in the superconducting state.
