Double Dome and Reemergence of Superconductivity in Pristine 6R-TaS2 under Pressure

Abstract: Investigating the implications of interlayer coupling on superconductivity is essential for comprehending the intrinsic mechanisms of high temperature superconductors. Van der Waals heterojunctions have attracted extensive research due to their exotic interlayer coupling. Here, we present a natural heterojunction superconductor of 6R-TaS2 that demonstrates a double-dome of superconductivity, in addition to, the reemergence of superconducting under high pressures. Our first principles calculation shows that the first dome of superconductivity in 6R-TaS2 can be attributed to changes in interlayer coupling and charge transfer. The second superconducting dome and the reemergence of superconductivity can be ascribed to changes in the density of states resulting from Fermi surface reconstruction, in which the DOS of T-layer and S p-orbitals play a crucial role. We have reported the first observation in TMDs that non-metallic atoms playing a dominant role in the reemergence of superconducting and the influence of two Lifshitz transitions on superconducting properties.
