Superconductivity in Bi based Bi2PdPt

We report synthesis and properties of superconducting Bi$_2$PdPt, a new member of Bi-Pd based compounds known for their simultaneous existence of topological surfaces states and superconductivity. It crystallizes in a hexagonal structure having space group $P6_3/mmc$. A detailed investigation of the properties via transport, magnetization, and specific heat measurements confirm bulk superconductivity with transition temperature, \textit{T}$_{C}$ = 4.0(1) K in moderate coupling limit.
