Abstract

Alternative route to a 2D superconductor Single layers of transition metal dichalcogenides exhibit exotic properties, including superconductivity. The usual route to obtaining such samples is to exfoliate a three-dimensional (3D) crystal. Devarakonda et al. instead grew a superlattice comprising alternating layers of the transition metal dichalcogenide hexagonal NbS 2 and the material Ba 3 NbS 5 (see the Perspective by Schoop). The inert Ba 3 NbS 5 layers serve to dissociate the superconducting NbS 2 layers from one another, resulting in 2D superconductivity with high carrier mobility. The combination of high mobility and reduced dimensionality may give rise to exotic quantum phases. Science , this issue p. 231 see also p. 170
