Two-Dimensional Superconductivity in Bilayers of BaBiO<sub>3</sub> and BaPbO<sub>3</sub>

ORAL

Abstract

Lead-doped barium bismuthate is intriguing on account of its relatively high critical temperature
and the nature of its superconductivity in vicinity to a charge density wave ordered topological insulator.
Here we present bilayers of barium bismuthate and barium leadate showing emergent superconductivity as function of the barium leadate top layer thickness. Magneto-transport studies allow
for the characterization of the superconducting properties in these bilayers to be two-dimensional. In
addition current-voltage characteristics of superconducting bilayers reveal signatures of a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition.
The particular observed dependence of the superconducting transition temperature on the thickness of the barium leadate top layer suggests the formation of the superconducting state originating from the interface.
