Description
Sameia Zaman leads a 2026 team that measures kinetic inductance in atom-thin NbSe2, a layered superconductor that still works down to a single layer. Kinetic inductance comes from inertia of paired electrons and grows as films thin, which suits compact quantum devices. The team used microwave waveguides and methods borrowed from quantum circuit labs.
Inductance per square rose as layer count fell, reaching a peak value in the single-layer limit given in the study. Behavior crossed from clean to dirty regimes in the thinnest films, likely from surface scattering and band effects. Nonlinear response stayed modest across films. Such films could serve as small, nearly linear high-inductance parts for quantum detectors and circuits.
