SrBi2Se4 is a newly discovered quasi-one-dimensional superconductor that offers a promising platform for exploring exotic superconductivity in low-dimensional systems. We present the growth of free-standing single crystals using a Bi-Se-rich self-flux method and characterize their structure and composition via x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. Heat-capacity and magnetization measurements confirm bulk superconductivity below Tc=2.9 K, while magnetotransport reveals an anisotropic upper-critical field. Additionally, we present angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density-functional theory calculations, that provide insight into the electronic structure and lay the groundwork for understanding possible unconventional superconductivity in SrBi2Se4.
We acknowledge funding from the European Research Council through Project 101040811, Distort-to-Grasp.
