Dynamically-created Josephson Junctions in thin layers of NbSe2

ORAL

Abstract

Niobium Diselenide (NbSe2) is a member of the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) family that displays unique superconducting properties due to broken in-plane mirror symmetry and multiply occupied bands. Here, we report on fabrication and low-temperature transport measurements of atomically-thin layers of NbSe2 in four terminal-configurations. We observe the formation of phase slip lines across our NbSe2 sheets which appear as non-zero resistances in the superconducting state. Additionally, we interact with these dynamically-created Josephson junctions through the application of RF radiation, observing results consistent with the AC Josephson effect.
