Pressure-Driven Evolution of Magnetic Structure and Emergent Superconductivity in Magnetic Topological Insulator

ORAL

Abstract

The discovery of superconductivity in magnetic topological insulators (MTIs) is of broad interest due to its potential to unlock new quantum phases and applications, particularly in quantum computing and spintronics. In this work, we provide evidence of the pressure-driven evolution of magnetic and lattice structures, alongside the possible pressure-induced superconductivity in MTIs. Using magnetoresistance, DC magnetic susceptibility, and X-ray diffraction measurements in diamond anvil cells, we construct a comprehensive temperature-pressure phase diagram, revealing complex pressure-dependent changes in magnetic ground states, superconductivity, and structural phases. We also discuss the factors that might contribute to superconductivity across this material system.
