Ising superconductivity and beyond: a real materials approach
Abstract
Title: Ising superconductivity and beyond: a real materials approachThe main goal of this project is to create a quantitative, material-dependent theory of the recently discovered exciting novel phenomenon with highly important ramifications for the theory of superconductivity, as well as potential for applications (such as quantum computing). While this phenomenon is reasonably well understood on a very general, model level, very littlemicroscopical first principle theory exists. In particular, possibility of spin fluctuations as a secondary pairing interaction after phonons, strongly suggested by density functional calculations, has never been addressed, even though it may dramatically affect the physics of Ising superconductors. As a material base we shall use NbSe2 monolayers, as well as other transitionmetal dichalcogenides, and also NbSe2/CrI3 superconductor/ferromagnet heterostructures.
