Project
Superconductivity per atomic layer.
In this project, we will obtain theoretical insight in the effect of confinement and the choice of the substrate on the superconducting properties of atomistically thin films – by adding one monolayer at the time. Research will be performed via ab initio studies of the structural, electronic, and vibrational properties of few‐monolayer films, and the application of Bogoliubov‐de Gennes and Eliashberg formalisms to study the superconducting properties of these films, based on the input from the ab initio calculations.
