摘要:

According to first-principles calculations, it is our prediction that bilayer phosphorene (BLP) will become a quasi-two-dimensional superconductor under a certain degree of interlayer compression. A decreasing interlayer distance may realize the transition in the BLP from a semiconducting phase to a metallic phase. On the other hand, a severe vertical compression may make the BLP lattice become dynamically unstable. It is found that in the stable metallic phase of the BLP, interlayer phonon modes dominate the electron-phonon coupling λ. The obtained λ can be greater than 1 and the superconducting temperature Tc can be higher than 10 K.

According to first-principles calculations, it is our prediction that bilayer phosphorene (BLP) will become a quasi-two-dimensional superconductor under a certain degree of interlayer compression. A decreasing interlayer distance may realize the transition in the BLP from a semiconducting phase to a metallic phase. On the other hand, a severe vertical compression may make the BLP lattice become dynamically unstable. It is found that in the stable metallic phase of the BLP, interlayer phonon modes dominate the electron-phonon coupling λ. The obtained λ can be greater than 1 and the superconducting temperature Tc can be higher than 10 K.
