Nb2P5is a recently discovered Bardeen, Cooper, Schrieffer theory s-wave superconductor hosting nontrivial topological nodal-line structure, which could serve as an excellent platform for studying the interplay between the superconductivity and nontrivial topological states. We report herein the superconducting and structural properties of Nb2P5studied by measuring the electrical resistivity and structure under high pressure up to ~ 28 GPa and performing first principles calculations. The superconducting transition temperature TCdecreases with applied pressure, and reaches a minimum of 1.9 K at ~ 20.0 GPa, followed by a continuous enhancement up to 50.0 GPa without saturation. Furthermore, at pressures above ~ 8.2 GPa, it is likely that a second superconducting transition appears and coexists with the initial one even up to ~ 28 GPa. Theoretical calculations rule out the correlation between the second superconducting-like transition and structure. Moreover, the Nb2P5showed remarkable axial anisotropic compressibility, in which the b-axis is more compressible than the a- and c-axes. The variation of TCis discussed via considering the evolution of density of states around the Fermi level and the phonon spectrum. |
