The vortex lattice in 2H-NbSe2 ¿ how is it impacted by the charge density wave state?
The hexagonal transition-metal dichalcogenide family (e.g. 2H-NbSe2, 2H-TaS2) is well known for the coexistence of charge density waves (CDW) and superconductivity, where electrons are paired in real and reciprocal space, respectively. The evidence to date indicates that the CDWs and the superconductivity are in competition, but the CDW also affects the environment in which the superconductivity develops, affecting the vortex cores, as shown by STM in NbSe2. Here, we propose to study the vortex lattice in NbSe2, to check the model for the gap function. This has previously been studied by STM, but the bulk properties have not yet been imaged directly. We will also try to observe the CDW signal, although this will require a different instrument geometry.
