Outline of Research at the Start

近年バルクでは従来型超伝導を示すが、原子層程度への薄膜化や異種物質との接合によって非従来型超伝導に類似した振る舞いを示す系が報告され始めている。本研究ではこの“誘起された” 非従来型超伝導状態を生じる系の一つと考えられている原子層NbSe2 を対象に、外部強磁場印加及び精密な原子層数操作によって従来・非従来超伝導の境界を制御し、走査トンネル顕微鏡を用いて詳細な電子状態を調べる。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The research aimed to elucidate the effects of thinning down to atomic layers and hetero-stacking on the superconducting state of the layered superconductor NbSe2. By combining molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and scanning tunneling microscopy spectroscopy (SI-STM), it was found that the superconductivity changes by the twist angle between NbSe2 and graphene layers, which is naturally introduces during growth. In the twisted bilayer samples, residual states were observed within the superconducting gap. The origin of these states was shown to be low-energy excitations in NbSe2, resulting from the superconducting proximity effect occurring at wave numbers where the Fermi surfaces of graphene and NbSe2 overlap.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では、NbSe2単層膜とグラフェンのひねり積層が超伝導状態に与える影響を明らかにすることに成功した。特に、運動量空間でのフェルミ面の重なりを通した超伝導近接効果を提案しており、積層のひねり角度を変えることで超伝導状態を連続的に調節できる可能性を示唆している。超伝導ツイストロニクスと呼ぶべき本研究成果は、数多く知られる層状物質の超伝導状態に適用できる新たな知見を提供し、今後の2次元超伝導体の新たな制御方法の指針となる重要な結果といえる。
