Chiral singlet superconductivity in the weakly correlated metal LaPt3P

Chiral superconductors are very rare topological materials. Here, the authors report spontaneous magnetic fields inside the superconducting state and low temperature linear behavior in the superfluid density in LaPt3P, suggesting a chiral d-wave singlet superconducting state.
