Multiple Superconducting Phases in Palladium Deuteride Induced by Nuclear-Spin Isotope Effect
Abstract
We study the superconducting properties of high-quality PdDx films. The resistivity shows a sharp drop at T ∼1.7 K, marking the superconducting transition. However, a finite resistivity persists and vanishes at ∼0.6 K. The temperature and magnetic-field dependences of the resistivity exhibit multiple anomalies within the superconducting state, revealing distinct superconducting phases. Such anomalies are absent in PdHx films. These results demonstrate a clear qualitative difference between the superconducting phase diagrams of PdDx and PdHx, highlighting the role of nuclear-spin isotope effects.
