AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on 2D van der Waals heterostructures (VDWHs) that exhibit both charge-density wave (CDW) and superconductivity (SC), highlighting their unique adjustable properties.
- It reveals that the interaction between SC and CDW is not well understood, leading researchers to investigate how these phenomena behave under high pressure in bulk 4-TaSe VDWHs.
- Findings suggest that as CDW order is suppressed, superconductivity is enhanced, with different responses depending on charge transfer, indicating a new way to manipulate these states for advanced material design.
Article Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals heterostructures (VDWHs) containing a charge-density wave (CDW) and superconductivity (SC) have revealed rich tunability in their properties, which provide a new route for optimizing their novel exotic states. The interaction between SC and CDW is critical to its properties; however, understanding this interaction within VDWHs is very limited. A comprehensive in situ study and theoretical calculation on bulk 4-TaSe VDWHs consisting of alternately stacking 1-TaSe and 1-TaSe monolayers are investigated under high pressure. Surprisingly, the superconductivity competes with the intralayer and adjacent-layer CDW order in 4-TaSe, which results in substantially and continually boosted superconductivity under compression. Upon total suppression of the CDW, the superconductivity in the individual layers responds differently to the charge transfer. Our results provide an excellent method to efficiently tune the interplay between SC and CDW in VDWHs and a new avenue for designing materials with tailored properties.
