Title: Vacation in the manufacture of multi-layered van-der Waals sucrophader-heterostructures

An international team of researchers has made an important progress in the production of multi-layered van-der Waals supral conductor heterostructures. This groundbreaking study, published in the renowned journal Nature, offers opportunities for the development of future functional units and applications.

van der Waals heterostructures have attracted considerable attention in recent years. With thousands of two -dimensional materials that can be stacked in different combinations, the possible uses are apparently endless. So far, however, the production of these heterostructures was not scalable for practical applications.

The team developed an innovative method to master this challenge. They developed a highly-to-low temperature strategy for the controlled production of stacks from multi-layered van-der Waals suler conductor heterostructures (VDWSH) at Wafer level. The number of layers of the two -dimensional superconductors in the VDWSHS can be controlled precisely. 27 double, 15 triple, 5 four times and 3 five times VDWSH films have been produced, with each block representing a 2D material.

Detailed morphological, spectroscopic and structural analyzes confirmed the presence of parallels, clean and atomic sharp VDW interfaces on a large scale, whereby only a minimum contamination between neighboring layers was determined. These intact VDW interfaces enable the production of superconducting (proximity induced superconductivity) and superconducting Josephson junctions in the centimeter range.

The possibilities of making multi -layered VDWSHS can easily be transferred to other situations with two -dimensional materials. This could accelerate the development of the next generation of functional units and a variety of applications.

This breakthrough in the manufacture of multi-layered van-der Waals sucrophery heterostructures will inspire experts and researchers in the field of naturopathy. The resulting developments could lead to new therapies and treatments based on the unique properties of these materials.
