Signatures of Unconventional Superconductivity in Transition Metal Dichalcogenides — •Miguel Ugeda — Donostia International Physics Center, San Sebastián, Spain

Lowering the dimensionality of a material is an effective strategy to boost electronic correlations that fail to be captured by conventional pictures. In this arena, two-dimensional (2D) materials provide an ideal platform for the exploration of quantum collective phenomena arising from such strong interactions due to their simple synthesis and modelling. In this talk, I will review the rich physics that emerges in the family of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) metals in the superconducting state in the 2D limit. While many of these TMD metals exhibit superconductivity in both the bulk form down to the monolayer, the latter limit stores exciting surprises beyond the BCS frameworks that have been revealed in the last years. I will focus on our NbSe₂, the most representative TMD superconductor, where I will describe our recent STM/STS experiments. Lastly, I will briefly describe our current efforts to induce unconventional superconductivity in more complex TMD heterostructures.
