Excitonic Devices based on 2D Heterostructures for Room Temperature Superconductivity
Abstract
In this proposal we will conduct a high-risk-high-pay exploratory research to evaluate the feasibility of achieving room temperature superconductivity in a novel device that consists of stacked two dimensional (2D) materials. We intend to demonstrate the excitonic superfluidity by quantum mechanically coupling electrons from an n-type 2D layer with holes present in a p-type 2D monolayer that are spatially separated by an ultra-thin insulating layer. In addition, we propose to control the population of electrons and holes in these semiconducting 2D layers by electrostatic gating in order to dynamically tune the excitonic phase transition.
