研究目的
Investigating the grain boundary structure and its influence on transport properties in 2D Mo2C superconductors.
研究成果
The GB structure of 2D Mo2C is tilt angle-dependent, with unique dislocation and sawtooth patterns. GBs cause strong electron localization in the normal state and significant reduction in critical current in the superconducting state, providing insights for GB engineering in 2D TMCs.
研究不足
The study is limited to 2D Mo2C crystals; findings may not generalize to other 2D materials. The influence of disorder and strain on superconductivity requires further investigation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electrical measurements were used to study grain boundaries (GBs) in 2D Mo2C. Theoretical models and first-principles calculations were employed for structural analysis.
2:2C. Theoretical models and first-principles calculations were employed for structural analysis. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
2. Sample Selection and Data Sources: CVD-grown 2D Mo2C crystals with well-defined GBs were used, selected based on tilt angles and crystallographic orientations.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
FEI Titan3 G2 60-300 instrument for HAADF-STEM, FEI Titan Cube Themis G2 300 for iDPC-STEM, Physical Property Measurement System (Quantum Design DynaCool) for transport measurements, Cu and Mo foils for sample preparation.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Samples were fabricated by CVD, transferred to TEM grids or SiO2/Si substrates, characterized by STEM, and subjected to multi-terminal transport measurements at various temperatures.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Geometric phase analysis (GPA) for lattice rotation mapping, density functional theory (DFT) calculations for atomic models, and standard current-biased lock-in technique for resistance measurements.
