Abstract:
Noncentrosymmetric superconductors can lead to a variety of exotic properties in the superconducting state such as line nodes, multigap behavior, and time-reversal symmetry breaking. In this paper, we report the properties of a new noncentrosymmetric superconductor TaOs, using muon spin relaxation and rotation measurements. It is shown using the zero-field muon experiment that TaOs preserve the time-reversal symmetry in the superconducting state. From the transverse field muon measurements, we extract the temperature dependence of [Formula: see text], which is proportional to the superfluid density. This data can be fit with a fully gapped s-wave model for [Formula: see text] = 2.01 [Formula: see text] 0.02. Furthermore, the value of magnetic penetration depth is found to be 5919 [Formula: see text] 45 [Formula: see text], which is consistent with the value obtained from the bulk measurements.

Determining the Empirical Formula
Determining the chemical formula of a compound is at the heart of what chemists do in the laboratory every day. Many tools are available to aid in this determination, but one of the simplest (and most accurate) is the determination of the empirical formula. Why is this useful? Because of the law of conservation of mass, any reaction can be followed gravimetrically, or by change in mass. The empirical...
