YBCO/graphene (TMDC)

Fabrication of YBCO/graphene junction based on transferred graphene flakes. Single (one interface) junctions will be fabricated using an advanced (ion irradiation) lithography developed by CNRS to combine cuprate superconductors and flakes of 2D materials (such as graphene or TMDCs) in planar, gate-tuneable devices We will investigate the effect of in situ capping YBCO with different noble metals (Au, Pt, Pd) before transferring the 2D crystals
