Van-der-Waals superlattices with two-dimensional (2D) superconducting layers of a transition-metal dichalchogenide (TMD) embedded between other materials have recently received a lot of attention [1].
Embedding the TMD layers protects them from exposure to air and makes it possible to observe 2D superconductivity.
Here, we examine [(SnSe)1+δ]n[NbSe2]m ferecrystals [2] with n = 1 and varying m. The ferecrystals are stacks of polycrystalline layers grown with atomic layer precision, but without an epitaxial relationship between the layers [2].
For m ≤ 9 we observe a superconducting phase below a critical temperature, which decreases with increasing distance between the NbSe2 monolayers.
For m ≥ 9 an insulating behavior is observed.
The Ginzburg-Landau (GL) coherence lengths are determined from the upper critical magnetic fields.
The perpendicular GL coherence length decreases with increasing distance between the NbSe2 monolayers, indicating a decoupling of the superconducting layers [3].
