Abstract
The interplay between charge transfer and electronic disorder in transition-metal dichalcogenide multilayers gives rise to superconductive coupling driven by proximity enhancement, tunneling and superconducting fluctuations, of a yet unwieldy variety. Artificial spacer layers introduced with atomic precision change the density of states by charge transfer. Here, we tune the superconductive coupling between monolayers from proximity-enhanced to tunneling-dominated. We correlate normal and superconducting properties in tailored multilayers with varying SnSe layer thickness (). From high-field magnetotransport the critical fields yield Ginzburg–Landau coherence lengths with an increase of cross-plane (), trending towards two-dimensional superconductivity for . We show cross-overs between three regimes: metallic with proximity-enhanced coupling (), disordered-metallic with intermediate coupling () and insulating with Josephson tunneling (). Our results demonstrate that stacking metal mono- and dichalcogenides allows to convert a metal/superconductor into an insulator/superconductor system, prospecting the control of two-dimensional superconductivity in embedded layers.
