Enhancing Superconductivity at Atomically Precise Interfaces
Abstract
The objective of this proposal is to search for mechanisms to increase the superconducting transition temperature at atomically precise interfaces. In particular, The PI will seek to determine the underlying mechanism for the large enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of monolayer FeSe on SrTiO3, and attempt to push even Tc higher by optimizing and engineering this interface. He will systematically explore the dependence of the Tc of FeSe on SrTiO3 on four main parameters : 1) compressive and tensile strain, 2) surface structure and termination of the oxide substrate, 3) polarizability and electron-phonon coupling of the substrate, and 4) carrier doping and band alignment of the FeSe heterointerface.
