| Abstract | :
The properties of the noncentrosymmetric superconductor (α-[Formula: see text] structure) Nb0.5Os0.5 have been investigated using resistivity, magnetization, specific heat, and muon spin relaxation and rotation (μSR) measurements. These measurements suggest that Nb0.5Os0.5 is a weakly coupled ([Formula: see text]) type-II superconductor ([Formula: see text]), having a bulk superconducting transition temperature T c = 3.07 K. The specific heat data fits well with the single-gap BCS model indicating nodeless s-wave superconductivity in Nb0.5Os0.5. The μSR measurements also confirm [Formula: see text]-wave superconductivity with the preserved time-reversal symmetry. |
