The pressure-enhanced superconducting phase of Sr[Formula: see text]-Bi[Formula: see text]Se[Formula: see text] probed by hard point contact spectroscopy.

The superconducting systems emerging from topological insulators upon metal ion intercalation or application of high pressure are ideal for investigation of possible topological superconductivity. In this context, Sr-intercalated Bi[Formula: see text]Se[Formula: see text] is specially interesting because it displays pressure induced re-entrant superconductivity where the high pressure phase shows almost two times higher [Formula: see text] than the ambient superconducting phase ( [Formula: see text] K). Interestingly, unlike the ambient phase, the pressure-induced superconducting phase shows strong indication of unconventional superconductivity. However, since the pressure-induced phase remains inaccessible to spectroscopic techniques, the detailed study of the phase remained an unattained goal. Here we show that the high-pressure phase can be realized under a mesoscopic point contact, where transport spectroscopy can be used to probe the spectroscopic properties of the pressure-induced phase. We find that the point contact junctions on the high-pressure phase show unusual response to magnetic field supporting the possibility of unconventional superconductivity.
