Abstract | Recently, a new transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) material 2M-phase WS2 was synthesized. The material 2M-WS2 not only exhibits superconductivity, with the highest T-c being 8.8 K at ambient pressure among TMDs, but also hosts a topological surface state. Here we report the low-temperature thermal conductivity measurements on 2M-WS2 single crystals to investigate its superconducting gap structure. A negligible residual linear term kappa(0)/T in zero field shows that 2M-WS2 has a fully superconducting gap with all electrons paired. The field dependence of kappa(0)/T suggests an anisotropic superconducting gap or multiple nodeless superconducting gaps in 2M-WS2. Such a fully gapped superconducting state is compatible with 2M-WS2 being a topological superconductor candidate. |
