abstract
The type-II Dirac semimetal PdTe2 was recently reported to be a type-I superconductor with a superconducting transition temperature Tc = 1.65 K. However, the recent results from tunneling and point contact spectroscopy suggested the unusual state of a mixture of type-I and type-II superconductivity. These contradictory results mean that there is no clear picture of the superconducting phase diagram and warrants a detailed investigation of the superconducting phase. We report here the muon spin rotation and relaxation ($\mu$SR) measurements on the superconducting state of the topological Dirac semimetal PdTe2. From $\mu$SR measurements, we find that PdTe2 exhibits mixed type-I/type-II superconductivity. Using these results a phase diagram has been determined. In contrast to previous results where local type-II superconductivity persists up to Hc2 = 600 G, we observed that bulk superconductivity is destroyed above 225 G.

$\mu$SR study on noncentrosymmetric superconductor NbGe$_{\mathbf{2}}$
Zero-field muon spin relaxation finds no spontaneous magnetic field in superconducting NbGe2, while transverse-field muon spin relaxation maps a phase diagram with coexisting type-I and type-II superconductivity.

Type-I/Type-II superconductivity in noncentrosymmetric compound Ir$_2$Ga$_9$
Ir2Ga9 is a Type-I/Type-II superconductor: muSR shows coexisting Meissner, intermediate, and mixed states, while time-reversal symmetry is preserved.
