Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are a very versatile material class in which a plethora of physical phenomena can be realized. This ranges from the topological electronic structure in Weyl and Dirac semimetals to magnetic and even superconducting systems that can furthermore be combined due to the intrinsic van der Waals stacking in these materials. The TMDC NbSe2 is an example of a layered superconducting material which shows, for instance, the unconventional Ising superconductivity that is particularly robust against magnetic fields [1]. We study bulk and single-layer NbSe2 on the basis of first-principles calculations within the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green function method which allows combining the accurate description of the electronic structure on the basis of density functional theory with a description of the superconductivity via the Bogoliubov-de Gennes formalism [2,3].
