Tuneability of Superconducting Properties in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide bilayers — •Michael Winter and Tim O. Wehling — I. Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Hamburg, Notkestraße 9-11, 22607 Hamburg

In recent years, rising interest sustained in van der Waals materials, particularly in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs or TMDCs). This work explores the potential for bilayer [hetero-]structuring in TMDs, which have garnered significant attention due to the discovery and prediction of exotic quantum phases, such as superconductivity and Mott insulating behaviour.

I present predictions derived from a minimal quantum lattice model, incorporating ab initio calculations based on plane-wave density functional theory (DFT), density functional perturbation theory (DFPT), and subsequent electron-phonon interaction calculations. The resulting model allows us to investigate the effects of different material combinations (e.g., MoS₂, MoSe₂, WS₂, WSe₂) and electron doping on superconductivity in such [hetero-]bilayer.
