Recent advances in quasi-2D superconductors via organic molecule intercalation

Abstract

Superconductivity at the 2D limit shows emergent novel quantum phenomena, including anomalously enhanced Hc2, quantum metallic states and quantum Griffiths singularity, which has attracted much attention in the field of condensed matter physics. In this article, we focus on new advances in quasi-2D superconductors in the bulk phase using an organic molecular electrochemical intercalation method. The enhanced superconductivity and emergent pseudogap behavior in these quasi-2D superconductors are summarized with a further prospect.

“…[6] Shi et al focus on recent advances in quasi-2D superconductors in the bulk phase using an organic molecular electrochemical intercalation method, resulting in enhanced superconductivity and emergent pseudogap behavior. [7] He briefly introduces several techniques based on molecular beam epitaxy growth on pre-patterned substrates which enable them to directly prepare in-plane nanostructures and heterostructures in ultrahigh vacuum. [8] Zhang et al summarize recent STM advances on the spin-and/or valleypolarized states induced by individual atomic scale defects in graphene, including single-atom vacancies, dopants and chemisorption.…”
