Engineering Novel Hybrid Superconductors
Abstract
In this proposal, we will take advantage of a combination of state-of-the-art materials synthesis, such as molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), advanced spectroscopy (ARPES), and electrical transport measurements to realize and investigate new interfacial and hybrid superconductors. Because the superconductivity in these systems can be fragile (e.g., monolayer FeSe - SrTiO3), highly reactive (e.g., alkali metals on Sr2IrO4 or graphene), or may exist only at surfaces or interfaces, we will leverage unique experimental capabilities developed from prior AFOSR support, particularly in situ techniques in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV), such as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), and in situ resistivity, all integrated with multiple MBE growth systems, to conclusively establish the existence of superconductivity.
