Abstract

We report on the superconducting properties of noncentrosymmetric superconductor LaPtGe, which crystallizes in noncentrosymmetric $α - {ThSi}_{2}$ structure. The magnetization, resistivity, and specific-heat measurements confirm that LaPtGe is a type-II bulk superconductor with a transition temperature $T_{c} = 3.05 \pm 0.05$ K. Muon-spin relaxation/rotation measurements suggest that time-reversal symmetry is preserved in the superconducting ground state.
