## Description

- description: The physical properties of the intermetallic compound RhPb2 have been
    unexplored in detail and are controversial so far. Two values of superconducting
    transition temperatures have been reported experimentally in poly-crystal samples
    with the I4/mcm structure. Moreover, the recent report of band calculation results
    showed that RhPb2 with the I4/mmm structure (β-RhPb2) may be a topological superconductor
    candidate, having a higher Tc ≈ 9.7 K than that of the I4/mcm structure. Therefore,
    we grew single crystals of RhPb2 and performed X-ray diffraction study and the
    phase stability by EPMA, and resistivity measurements to clarify this intriguing
    compound. Surprisingly, the resistivity measurements showed three different values
    of Tc (1.24 K, 2.32 K, and 6.7 K) despite the same crystal structure (I4/mcm)
    but different levels of Rh vacancies up to 18%, inspiring that some sort of Rh
    vacancy ordering may occur.
