The application of the muon-spin rotation/relaxation ($\mu$SR) technique for studying type-I superconductivity is discussed. In the intermediate state, i.e. when a type-I superconducting sample with non-zero demagnetization factor $N$ is…
Muon spin spectroscopy is one of the most powerful tools to investigate the microscopic properties of superconductors. In this manuscript, an overview on some of the main achievements obtained by this technique in the iron-based…
The Dirac semimetal PdTe$_2$ was recently reported to be a type-I superconductor with $T_c = 1.64$ K and a critical field $\mu_0H_c = 13.6$ mT. Since type-I superconductivity is unexpected for binary compounds, we have conducted muon spin…
Topological superconductivity is an exotic phenomenon due to the symmetry-protected topological surface state, in which a quantum system has an energy gap in the bulk but supports gapless excitations confined to its boundary. Symmetries…
The Dirac semimetal PdTe${}_2$ becomes superconducting at a temperature $T_{c}=1.6$~K. Thermodynamic and muon spin rotation experiments support type-I superconductivity, which is unusual for a binary compound. A key property of a type-I…

Noncentrosymmetric superconductors with $\alpha$-manganese structure has attracted much attention recently, after the discovery of time-reversal symmetry breaking in all the members of Re$_{6}$X (X = Ti, Hf, Zr) family. Similar to…
We report transverse-field (TF) muon spin rotation experiments on single crystals of the topological superconductor Sr$_x$Bi$_2$Se$_3$ with nominal concentrations $x=0.15$ and $0.18$ ($T_c \sim 3$ K). The TF spectra ($B= 10$ mT), measured…
