Clean‐Limit 2D Superconductivity in a Thick Exfoliated Kagome Film

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports clean‐limit 2D superconductivity in a thick kagome system, analogous to the 3D case. It observes a drop in superfluid stiffness near the superconducting transition and a cusp‐like feature in the angular dependence of the upper critical field.

Single‐Step Synthesis of In‐plane 1T'‐2H Heterophase MoTe2 for Low‐Resistance Contacts

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A single‐step CVD method is developed to synthesize seamless in‐plane 1T'‐2H MoTe2 heterophase junctions with precise phase control and uniform large‐area coverage. The resulting transistors, incorporating 1T' MoTe2 contacts and 2H MoTe2 channels, exhibit ultralow contact resistance, offering a scalable solution to the long‐standing challenge of ...
