(DURIP) ENHANCED SUPERCONDUCTIVITY THROUGH PICOSCALE ENGINEERING
Abstract
Motivated by the discovery of high temperature superconductivity at the interface between FeSe and SrTiO3, we will engineer more complex heterogeneous interfaces that combine chalcogenide superconductors, such as FeSe or CuTe2, with functional oxides like BaTiO3. We will apply similar structural design strategies to transition metal dichalcogenide systems with strong spin-orbit coupling, such as WTe2, which superconduct under gating or pressure, to create new types of topological superconductors that could bring robust quantum computing to fruition. We propose upgrades to our existing molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) chambers that will increase the quality, throughput, and breadth of oxide and chalcogenide materials systems that we are able to deposit.
