Misfit layer compounds (MCLs) are heterostructures composed of rocksalts units stacked with few layers transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) [1]. Because of the lattice mismatch and chemical bonding between constituents, bulk MLCs behave similarly to mono and bi layer TMDs, making it quasi-2D systems. In this work [2], by means of density functional theory, we show that misfits behave as a periodic arrangement of ultra-tunable field effect transistors with 2D features. We demonstrate how the charge injection into the TMD layers can be controlled by the chemistry of the rocksalt which always acts as electron donor. Finally, we establish a strategy to design emergent superconductivity and demonstrate its applicability in (LaSe)1.27(SnSe2)2, showing that superconductivity can emerge in MLCs formed by assembling non-superconducting rocksalts and TMDs.
