Description
Abstract

In this talk, I will present our recent studies on the emergent superconductivity in few-layer stanene [1][2] as well as superconductor-insulator or superconductor-metal transition induced by lithium ion intercalation [3]. In the first part, I will report the discovery of superconductivity in few-layer stanene—ultrathin gray tin (111). Few-layer stanene not only exhibits two-dimensional superconductivity but also topologically non-trivial band structures [1]. Furthermore, they host enhanced in-plane upper critical fields that greatly exceed the conventional limit. We propose that this anomalous behavior stems from a novel type of Ising pairing [2]. In the second part, I will present the application of a recently emerged solid-state gating technique. By using this technique, we are able to continuously tune a high temperature cuprate superconductor from the optimal doping to the under-doped regime [3]. We further employ this technique to induce superconductivity in titanium diselenide. Interestingly, we observe the anomalous metal phase even in relatively thick films of titanium diselenide.
