Abstract [en]

Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are model systems to investigate the interplay between superconductivity and the charge density wave (CDW) order. Here, we use muon spin rotation and relaxation (mu+SR) to probe the superconducting ground state of polycrystalline 2H-TaS2, which hosts a CDW transition at 76 K and superconductivity below 1 K. The mu+SR measurements, conducted down to 0.27 K, are consistent with a nodeless, BCS-like single-gap s-wave state. Fits to the temperature dependence of the depolarization rate and Knight shift measurements support spin-singlet pairing. Crucially, no evidence of time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) is observed, distinguishing 2H-TaS2 from polymorphs like 4Hb-TaS2, where TRSB and unconventional superconductivity have been reported. These findings establish 2H-TaS2 as a canonical BCS superconductor and provide a reference point for understanding the diverse electronic ground states that emerge in structurally distinct TMD polymorphs.
