We report on the observation of a T_{c}∼0.9 K superconductivity at the interface between LaAlO_{3} film and the 5d transition metal oxide KTaO_{3}(110) single crystal. The interface shows a large anisotropy of the upper critical field, and its superconducting transition is consistent with a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. Both facts suggest that the superconductivity is two-dimensional (2D) in nature. The carrier density measured at 5 K is ∼7×10^{13} cm^{-2}. The superconducting layer thickness and coherence length are estimated to be ∼8 and ∼30 nm, respectively. Our result provides a new platform for the study of 2D superconductivity at oxide interfaces.

The discovery of superconductivity in twisted bilayer and trilayer graphene has generated tremendous interest. The key feature of these systems is an interplay between interlayer coupling and a moiré superlattice that gives rise to low-energy flat bands with strong correlations. Flat bands can also be induced by moiré patterns in lattice-mismatched and/or twisted heterostructures of other two-dimensional materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs).

The inhomogeneous magnetic stray field of micromagnets has been extensively used to manipulate electron spin qubits. By means of micromagnetic simulations and scanning superconducting quantum interference device microscopy, we show that the polycrystallinity of the magnet and nonuniform magnetization significantly impact the stray field and corresponding qubit properties. The random orientation of the crystal axis in polycrystalline Co magnets alters the qubit frequencies by up to 0.

Two-dimensional (2D) Janus structures with the breaking of out-of-plane mirror symmetry can induce many interesting physical phenomena, and have attracted widespread attention. Herein, we propose a MoPS monolayer with mirror asymmetry, identified by first-principles structural search calculations, which demonstrates high thermodynamic and dynamic stability. Our findings reveal that Mo 4d-orbitals dominate the metallicity, significantly enhancing the density of states near the Fermi level due to Van Hove singularities (VHSs), leading to the existence of phonon-mediated superconductivity.

Transition metal nitrides are well-known 3D superconductor materials. However, there is a lack of knowledge related to their two-dimensional (2D) counterparts, which have several potential technological applications. In this work, we predict, using an evolutionary algorithm coupled with a first-principles approach, a set of novel 2D superconductive structures based on tungsten nitride.

Twistronics, a novel engineering approach involving the alignment of van der Waals (vdW) integrated two-dimensional materials at specific angles, has recently attracted significant attention. Novel nontrivial phenomena have been demonstrated in twisted vdW junctions (the so-called magic angle), such as unconventional superconductivity, topological phases, and magnetism. However, there have been only few reports on integrated vdW layers with large twist angles θ, such as twisted interfacial Josephson junctions using high-temperature superconductors.
