摘要
We report the discovery of bulk superconductivity (SC) at 6.1 K in a quasi-one-dimensional chromium pnictide K2Cr3As3 that contains [Cr3As3)(2-)](infinity) double-walled subnanotubes with face-sharing Cr-6/2 ( As-6/2) octahedron linear chains in the inner (outer) wall. The material has a large electronic specific-heat coefficient of 70-75 mJ K-2 mol(-1), indicating significantly strong electron correlations. A linear temperature dependence of resistivity in a broad temperature range from 7 to 300 K is observed, which suggests non-Fermi liquid behavior of the material. Unconventional SC is preliminarily manifested by the estimated upper critical field exceeding the Pauli limit by a factor of 3-4. The title compound represents a rare example that possibly unconventional SC emerges in a quasi-1D system with strong electron correlations.
