Dimensionality of the Superconductivity in the Transition Metal Pnictide WP

We report theoretical and experimental results on the transition metal pnictide WP. The theoretical outcomes based on tight-binding calculations and density functional theory indicate that WP is a three-dimensional superconductor with an anisotropic electronic structure and nonsymmorphic symmetries. On the other hand, magnetoresistance experimental data and the analysis of superconducting fluctuations of the conductivity in external magnetic field indicate a weakly anisotropic three-dimensional superconducting phase.

Automated summary

WP is a three-dimensional superconductor with an anisotropic electronic structure. Experimental data indicates a weakly anisotropic superconducting phase.
