This creates an unusual structure that researchers describe as a natural superconductor sandwich.
From Science Daily
Because the superconductivity comes from topologically protected surface electrons, PtBi2 qualifies as a topological superconductor.
From Science Daily
PtBi2 is the first known superconductor where pairing is restricted in a six-fold symmetric pattern.
From Science Daily
"We have never seen this before. Not only is PtBi2 a topological superconductor, but the electron pairing that drives this superconductivity is different from all other superconductors we know of," says Borisenko.
