Reaching superconductivity layer by layer

Phys.org  March 2, 2023 Multilayered graphene has many promising qualities ranging from widely tunable band structure and special optical properties to new forms of superconductivity. An international team of researchers (Austria, Israel) studied multilayer graphene for the possibility of creating topological superconductivity. In their theoretical model, simulated on a computer, they looked at various possible arrangements of different graphene sheets on top of each other and the behavior of electrons that move in the multiplayer graphene. Depending on how the different layers of graphene are shifted with respect to each other and on how many layers there were, the positively […]
