A µSR study of Ti0.6V0.4 – superconductivity in the presence of itinerant spin fluctuations

DOI

The Ti-V system has recently been recognised as a potential for producing new superconducting magnets, as well as high quality resonances in superconducting RF cavities. The upper critical field of the optimally doped alloy may exceed the Pauli paramagnetic limit, hinting at the presence of unconventional superconductivity. Spin fluctuations have also been proposed as the mechanism explaining recent transport, magnetization, and heat capacity measurements. This model explains other anomalies, such as an increase of Tc with a decrease of density of states, and the presence of superconducting fluctuations at temperatures 2 times greater than the superconducting transition temperature. We propose a MuSR experiment such that we can 1) determine the pairing symmetry of the superconducting electrons and T-dependence of penetration depth and 2) investigate spin fluctuation effects on the SC
