The low-field phase of the organic superconductor (TMTSF)(2)ClO(4) is studied by muon-spin rotation. The zero temperature limit of the magnetic penetration depth within the TMTSF layers is obtained to be λ(ab)(0) = 0.86(2) μm. Temperature dependence of the muon-spin relaxation shows no indication of gap nodes on the Fermi surface nor of any spontaneous fields due to time-reversal-symmetry breaking. The weight of evidence suggests that the symmetry of this low-field phase is odd-frequency p-wave singlet, a novel example of odd-frequency pairing in a bulk superconductor.
利用μ子自旋旋转研究了有机超导体(TMTSF)(2)ClO(4)的低场相。得到 TMTSF 层内磁穿透深度的零温极限为 λ(ab)(0)=0.86(2)μm。μ子自旋弛豫的温度依赖性表明费米面处没有间隙节点,也没有由于时间反演对称性破缺而产生的任何自发场。大量证据表明,这种低场相的对称性是奇数频率 p 波单态,这是在体超导体中奇数频率配对的一个新例子。
