Abstract

The emergence of two-dimensional (2D) superconductivity in bulk transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is a fascinating area of research, as their weak interlayer coupling leads to novel superconducting behavior and offers a rich platform to host nontrivial gap structures and interactions with other electronic orders. In this work, we present a comprehensive study of the superconducting properties of bulk single-crystalline 1T1T-Ti1x_{1-x}Tax_xSe2_2 for x = 0.2. Our results confirm the weakly coupled anisotropic superconductivity. Angle-dependent upper critical field measurements and observation of a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition confirm the quasi-2D nature of the superconducting state. These results position 1T1T-Ti1x_{1-x}Tax_xSe2_2 as a promising platform for exploring low-dimensional superconducting physics and highlight bulk TMD crystals as a promising platform for realizing intrinsic 2D superconductivity, opening avenues for future quantum applications.
