The research reveals superconductivity beyond the Pauli limit in bulk single crystals of NbS2 under a precisely parallel field alignment, suggesting the development of a Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state.
We present measurements of the magnetic torque, specific heat and thermal expansion of the bulk transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) superconductor NbS2 in high magnetic fields, with its layer structure aligned strictly parallel to the field using a piezo rotary positioner. The upper critical field of superconducting TMDs in the 2D form is known to be dramatically enhanced by a special form of Ising spin orbit coupling. This Ising superconductivity is very robust to the Pauli paramagnetic effect and can therefore exist beyond the Pauli limit for superconductivity. We find that superconductivity beyond the Pauli limit still exists in bulk single crystals of NbS2 for a precisely parallel field alignment. However, the comparison of our upper critical field transition line with numerical simulations rather points to the development of a Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state above the Pauli limit as a cause. This is also consistent with the observation of a magnetic field driven phase transition in the thermodynamic quantities within the superconducting state near the Pauli limit. Superconductivity is often destroyed under magnetic field larger than a critical value called Pauli limit. Here, the authors report superconductivity beyond the Pauli limit in bulk single crystals of NbS2, suggesting the development of a Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state.
