Superconducting properties of pseudobinary telluride Chevrel phase Mo4Re2Te8

Unconventional superconductivity in the Chevrel phase (CP) offers a wide structural aspect to understand the superconducting ground state. A detailed investigation of the superconducting properties of Re-based pseudobinary telluride CP Mo4Re2Te8 is reported. It crystallizes in a trigonal structure, with the space group R3H having a superconducting transition temperature at T-c = 3.26(3) K with a fully gapped superconducting state in the moderate electron-phonon coupling limit.
