From LAO/STO interfaces, monolayer FeSe, MoS$_2$, exfoliated graphene or cuprates: in recent years the ubiquity of two-dimensional superconductors has grown exponentially. At this first Flat Club meeting of the fall 2021, I will review the distinguishing features of ‘Flat’ superconductivity as opposed to bulk superconductivity. This includes the BKT transition, the effect of disorder, and the anisotropy in the critical field.

Reference: The talk will be loosely based on the review Highly crystalline 2D superconductors, Saito, Nojima & Iwasa, Nat Rev Mater 2, 16094 (2017).
Location: Room 102, Science I
Time: Friday 29 October, 12:30 start discussion
This is the first post-pandemic Flat Club. We will not be serving pizza because of sanitary measures.
We also require, to enhance discussions, everyone to bring their covid certificate.
