Evidence for unconventional superconductivity in half-Heusler YPdBi and TbPdBi compounds revealed by London penetration depth measurements

Evidence for unconventional superconductivity in half-Heusler YPdBi and TbPdBi compounds revealed by London penetration depth measurements

The half-Heusler compounds YPdBi and TbPdBi, while having a similar band structure, exhibit different magnetic properties. YPdBi is a diamagnet, while TbPdBi shows antiferromagnetic order below 5.5 K. Both are superconductors with ${T}_{c}\ensuremath{\approx}1$ K for YPdBi and ${T}_{c}\ensuremath{\approx}1.75$ K for TbPdBi. Such a contrast in properties between these two compounds …
