Probing the interplay between charge density wave and superconductivity in strongly spin-orbit coupled PdxIrTe2

DOI

We propose to study PdxIrTe2, which evolves from a charge-orbital density wave state to a superconducting state with doping. It has a similar structural motif, doping-dependent phase diagram, and strong spin-orbit coupling to the topological superconductor CuxBi2Se3. Our measurements will comprise a detailed study of the superconducting state in x=0.04, which shows bulk superconductivity with Hc1 and Hc2 fitting nicely within the ISIS field range, a less detailed study of superconductivity in x=0.02 which shows phase co-existence between superconducting and charge-orbital density wave phases, and finally a study of the density wave transitions in x=0 and 0.02, where the bulk magnetic properties show a sharp change. It will therefore provide either an interesting counterpoint to the properties of topological superconductors like CuxBi2Se3 or a new example of a topological superconductor.
