Pressure induced superconductivity in pristine 1T-TiSe2

Physical Review Letters just published a paper on superconductivity in 1T-TiSe2 whose coauthor is Eduard Tutiš from our institute. 1T-TiSe2 is a new and quite special member of the family of compounds in which the superconductivity appears as a consequence of the fluctuations of some other sort of electronic order. Recent investigations show that the long sought „excitonic isolator“ in 1T-TiSe2 might be a charge density wave, and by revealing a...
