Electron–phonon coupling in superconducting 1T-PdTe2

Abstract We have determined the electron–phonon interaction in type II Dirac semimetallic 1T-PdTe2 by means of helium atom scattering. While 1T-PdTe2 is isostructural with 1T-PtTe2, only the former is superconductor. The difference can be traced to the substantially larger value of the electron–phon...
