The strong spin$-$orbit coupling (SOC) and numerous crystal phases in few$-$layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) MX$_2$ (M$=$W, Mo, and X$=$Te, Se, S) has led to a variety of novel physics, such as Ising superconductivity and quantum spin Hall effect realized in monolayer 2H$-$ and Td$-$MX$_2$, respectively. Consecutive tailoring of the MX$_2$ structure from 2H to Td phase may realize the long$-$sought topological superconductivity in one material system by incorporating superconductivity and quantum spin Hall effect together. In this work, by combing Raman spectrum, X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS), scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging (STEM) as well as electrical transport measurements, we demonstrate that a consecutively structural phase transitions from Td to 1T$$ to 2H polytype can be realized as the Se-substitution concentration increases. More importantly, the Se$-$substitution has been found to notably enhance the superconductivity of the MoTe$_2$ thin film, which is interpreted as the introduction of the two$-$band superconductivity. The chemical constituent induced phase transition offers a new strategy to study the s$_{+-}$ superconductivity and the possible topological superconductivity as well as to develop phase$-$sensitive devices based on MX$_2$ materials.
We report the first experimental observation of superconductivity in Cd$_3$As$_2$ thin films without application of external pressure. Surface studies suggest that the observed transport characteristics are related to the polycrystalline continuous p
Superconductivity in granular films is controlled by the grain size and the inter-grain coupling. In a two-component granular system formed by a random mixture of a normal metal (N) and a superconductor (S), the superconducting nano-grains may become
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide PdTe$_2$ recently attracts much attention due to its phase coexistence of type-II Dirac semimetal and type-I superconductivity. Here we report a 67 % enhancement of superconducting transition temperatur
Disordered thin films close to the superconducting-insulating phase transition (SIT) hold the key to understanding quantum phase transition in strongly correlated materials. The SIT is governed by superconducting quantum fluctuations, which can be re
Structural, magnetic and magnetotransport properties of (Bi$_{1-x}$Eu$_x$)$_2$Se$_3$ thin films have been studied experimentally as a function of Eu content. The films were synthesized by MBE. It is demonstrated that Eu distribution is not uniform, i
