The evidence of two-dimensional superconductivity in van der Waals superlattices has recently received a lot of attention [1]. Our study investigates the temperature, magnetic field, and current-dependent superconducting properties of a ferecrystal - a layered van der Waals heterostructure with NbSe2 monolayers separated by SnSe spacers [2]. Current-voltage characteristics indicate a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition and suggest two-dimensional superconductivity, while an intermediate temperature range exhibits phase slip lines and reduced critical currents. Magnetic field measurements reveal the nature of phase slip lines and determine the in-plane and out-of-plane Ginsburg-Landau coherence lenghts. Our findings contribute insights into the complex interplay of vortex behavior and superconducting properties in superconducting heterostructures, enhancing understanding of superconductor current limitations.
