Tunability of the Superconductivity of NbSe₂ Films Grown by Two-Step Vapor Deposition.

ABSTRACT: Layered metallic transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are ideal platforms for exploring their fascinating electronic properties at two-dimensional limits, such as their charge density wave (CDW) and superconductivity. Therefore, developing ways to improve the crystallization quality of TMDCs is urgently needed. Here we report superconductively tunable NbSe₂ grown by a two-step vapor deposition method. By optimizing the sputtering conditions, superconducting NbSe₂ films were prepared from highly crystalline Nb films. The bilayer NbSe₂ films showed a superconducting transition temperature that was up to 3.1 K. Similar to the salt-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, superconducting monolayer NbSe₂ crystals were also grown from a sel
