Abstract
Very recently, NiTe₂ has been reported to be a type II Dirac semimetal with Dirac nodes near the Fermi surface. Furthermore, it is unveiled that NiTe₂ presents the Hall Effect, which is ascribed to orbital magnetoresistance. The physical properties behavior of NiTe₂ under high pressure attracts us. In this paper, we investigate the electrical properties of polycrystalline NiTe₂ by application of pressure ranging from 3.4GPa to 54.45Gpa. Superconductivity emerges at critical pressure 12GPa with a transition temperature of 3.7K, and Tc reaches its maximum, 6.4 K, at the pressure of 52.8GPa. Comparing with the superconductivity in MoP, we purposed the possibility of topological superconductivity in NiTe₂. Two superconductivity transitions are observed with pressure increasing in single crystal.
