Abstract
- ${\mathrm{TaSnS}}_{2}$ single crystal and polycrystalline samples are investigated in detail by magnetization, electrical resistivity, and specific heat as well as Raman spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Studies are focused on the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the superconducting state. We determine the critical fields for both directions $B\ensuremath{\parallel}c$ and $B\ensuremath{\perp}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}c$. Additionally, we investigate the dependence of the resistivity, the critical temperature, and the structure through Raman spectroscopy under high pressure up to 10 GPa. At a pressure of $\ensuremath{\approx}3\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GPa}$ the superconductivity is suppressed below our minimum temperature. The Sn NMR powder spectrum shows a single line which is expected for the ${\mathrm{TaSnS}}_{2}$ phase and confirms the high sample quality. Pronounced de Haas-van Alphen oscillations in the ac susceptibility of polycrystalline sample reveal two pairs of frequencies indicating coexisting small and large Fermi surfaces. The effective mass of the smaller Fermi surface is $\ensuremath{\approx}0.5{m}_{\mathrm{e}}$. We compare these results with the band structures from DFT calculations. Our findings on ${\mathrm{TaSnS}}_{2}$ are discussed in terms of a quasi-two-dimensional BCS superconductivity.
