Abstract

We have successfully synthesized the single crystal of Ag2Pd3S, which exhibits superconductivity with the transition temperature of Tc=2.25K. Ag2Pd3S crystallizes in the space group P4132 with the filled β−Mn structure, which has no inversion symmetry. The value of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter κGL indicates that Ag2Pd3S is a type-II superconductor. ΔC(Tc)/γnTc=1.50 and 2Δ/kBTc=3.48 from the heat-capacity analyses indicate that Ag2Pd3S is a weak-coupling Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superconductor with an isotropic superconducting gap. On the other hand, the violation of the Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg curve in the H−T phase diagram implies Ag2Pd3S is not a typical BCS superconductor.
