Superconductivity in a molecular graphene

Original · EN

We propose that constructing a molecule super-lattice on a superconducting ultrathin film is a promising way to manipulate superconductivity in experiment. We theoretically study superconductivity in a molecule graphene system, which is built by fabricating a hexagonal molecule super-lattice on 2-dimensional electron gas. The super-lattice potential dramatically changes the electron density of states, which oscillates as function of the energy. We show that such a molecular graphene may increase superconducting gap by a few times, which may open a new route to realize high temperature superconductivity.
