Van-der-Waals superlattices with two-dimensional (2D) superconducting layers of a transition-metal dichalchogenide (TMD) embedded between other materials have received a lot of attention [1].
Here, we examine the coupling between the NbSe2 monolayers in [(SnSe)1+δ]m[NbSe2] ferecrystals [2].
m is an adjustable parameter to control the spacing between NbSe2 layers and tune the inter-layer coupling, with a crossover from 3D to 2D superconductivity.
The electric transport shows three regions:
I. for m = 1−4 the films resemble “good” metals and 3D anisotropic superconductors, with inter-layer coupling enhanced by proximity effect in the SnSe layers and charge transfer from NbSe2 to SnSe;
II. for m = 5−9 the films are “dirty” metals and 3D anisotropic superconductors, with inter-layer coupling reduced by disorder and smaller charge transfer;
III. for m > 9 they are “bad” insulators and a stack of disordered quasi-2D superconductors, with Josephson coupling between NbSe2 monolayers.
