(Topological) superconductivity in atomically thin metals University of Antwerp
Since the "Graphene Revolution", much progress has been made in fabrication and understanding of one-monolayer-thick two dimensional crystals. Until recently, it was believed superconductivity - the property exhibited by some materials where below a certain temperature, all electrical resistance is lost - could not exist in such systems. When superconductivity was experimentally observed in a monolayer of Pb deposited on a Si substrate, it ...
