CaIr2: a superconducting network of intersecting kagome lattices

Abstract: CaIr2 is a superconductor with a transition temperature of 5.7 K and is composed of a network of kagome planes of Ir atoms. The proposed experiment would investigate the pairing symmetry, extract the superconducting penetration depth, and examine the possible of time-reversal symmetry breaking in this compound. CaIr2 has a complex Fermi surface, and spin-orbit coupling plays a role in its properties, but unlike the related CeRu2 (recently studied by muons) it does not have magnetic Ce ions that complicate the interpretation of the underlying physics.
