Abstract

SrPt2As2 undergoes a structural transition around 470 K (from a high-temperature tetragonal to a low-temperature orthorhombic phase) accompanied by a charge density wave transition and followed by a superconducting transition at much lower temperature (5 K). The superconducting gap symmetry of this noncentrosymmetric compound was investigated in detail by means of muon-spin rotation or relaxation (μSR) experiments in transverse-field (TF) configuration. The temperature-dependent magnetic penetration depth obtained from the TF−μSR spectra suggests an isotropic s-wave-type superconducting gap. No observable differences are seen in the asymmetry time spectra collected in zero field above and below the superconducting transition temperature Tc. This strongly suggests the absence of spontaneous magnetic fields in the superconducting state, hence pointing to a preserved time-reversal symmetry below Tc.
