Superfluid Stiffness and Flat-Band Superconductivity in van der Waals 2D Materials |
| 要旨(英語) |
Zero resistance and the Meissner effect are hallmark features of superconductors, and both are governed by the superfluid stiffness, which measures the energy cost of twisting the superconducting phase. In atomically thin van der Waals (vdW) superconductors, directly measuring this quantity has been challenging; however, recent advances in microwave resonator–based devices now enable precise stiffness measurements. By combining the Hamiltonian-level tunability of vdW materials with this measurement approach, we can probe new, fundamental superconducting phenomena.
In this presentation, I will introduce several of my ongoing experiments aimed at measuring the superfluid stiffness of vdW materials. One focus is the enhancement of superfluid stiffness arising from band geometry. In the conventional BCS picture, the stiffness originates from band dispersion, so in a perfectly flat band the conventional (kinetic) contribution is expected to vanish, and superconductivity would appear to be strongly suppressed. Yet experiments on flat or nearly flat bands show that superconductivity can still emerge, suggesting that the dispersive component alone is insufficient to account for the finite superfluid stiffness observed experimentally. This has led to the identification of a geometric contribution to the superfluid stiffness, arising from the quantum geometry of the Bloch states—especially the quantum metric—which can remain finite even when the dispersion is tiny. |
