Noncentrosymmetric 2D superconductors with large spin-orbit coupling offer an opportunity to explore superconducting behaviors far beyond the Pauli limit. One such superconductor, few-layer T$_d$-MoTe$_2$, has large upper critical fields…
Recent experiments reported gate-induced superconductivity in the monolayer 1T$'$-WTe$_2$ which is a two-dimensional topological insulator in its normal state [1, 2]. The in-plane upper critical field $B_{c2}$ is found to exceed the…
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) MX2 (M=W, Mo, Nb, and X=Te, Se, S) with strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) possess plenty of novel physics including superconductivity. Due to the Ising SOC, monolayer NbSe$_2$ and…
Crystalline two-dimensional (2D) superconductors with low carrier density are an exciting new class of materials in which superconductivity coexists with strong interactions, the effects of complex topology are not obscured by disorder, and…
Recently, it was experimentally realized that 2D superconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) such as gated MoS$_2$ and monolayer NbSe$_2$ have in-plane upper critical magnetic fields much higher than the Pauli limit. This is due…
Systems that simultaneously exhibit superconductivity and spin-orbit coupling are predicted to provide a route toward topological superconductivity and unconventional electron pairing, driving significant contemporary interest in these…
The layered semimetal WTe_2 has recently been found to be a two-dimensional topological insulator (2D TI) when thinned down to a single monolayer, with conducting helical edge channels. We report here that intrinsic superconductivity can be…

Topological superconductors have long been sought for their potential use in quantum computing. The type-II Weyl semimetal MoTe$_{2}$ is an obvious candidate, exhibiting a superconducting state below 500 mK at ambient pressure, but the…
Recently it was discovered that superconductivity in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is strongly affected by an out-of-plane spin-orbit coupling (SOC). In addition, new techniques of fabricating 2d ferromagnets on van der Waals…
Recently, Ising superconductors which possess in-plane upper critical fields much larger than the Pauli limit field are under intense experimental study. Many monolayer or few layer transition metal dichalcogenides are shown to be Ising…
Many recent studies show that superconductivity not only exists in atomically thin monolayers but can exhibit enhanced properties such as higher transition temperature and stronger critical field. Nevertheless, besides being air unstable,…
