Study of influence of interface electronic structure on the superconductivity (SC) in lower dimensions is important to tune SC in view of its applications to gated superconducting electronics, and superconducting layered heterostructures. Here, using ultra-low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, we demonstrate the formation of hybrid electronic structure at the interface between a lead film and black phosphorus. We show that interfacial hybridization weakly modifies the confinement potential and leads to a renormalization of the superconducting gap and a strong modification of the observed vortex structure. Using ab initio methods combined with analytical modeling, we link the renormalized gap to a weighting of the superconducting order parameter in reciprocal space. These results illustrate that interfacial hybridization can be used to tune SC in quantum technologies based on lower dimensional superconducting electronics. Reference: arXiv:2109.08498 (2021).
