The thesis begins with a historical overview of superconductivity and the electronic structure of two-dimensional materials, and mentions that these key ingredients lead to the possibility of the two-dimensional superconductor with high phase-transition temperature and critical magnetic field. Thereafter, the thesis moves its focus onto the implemented experiments, in which mainly two different materials thallium-deposited silicon surfaces and metal-intercalated bilayer graphenes, are used. The study of the first material is the first experimental demonstration of both a gigantic Rashba effect and superconductivity in the materials supposed to be superconductors without spatial inversion symmetry. The study of the latter material is relevant to superconductivity in a bilayer graphene, which was a big experimental challenge for a decade, and has been first achieved by the author. The description of the generic and innovative measurement technique, highly effective in probing electric resistivity of ultra-thin materials unstable in an ambient environment, makes this thesis a valuable source for researchers not only in surface physics but also in nano-materials science and other condensed-matter physics.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Surfaces (Physics)Interfaces (Physical sciences)Thin filmsSuperconductivitySuperconductorsMaterials—SurfacesNanoscale scienceNanoscienceNanostructuresSurface and Interface Science, Thin Filmshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25160Strongly Correlated Systems, Superconductivityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25064Surfaces and Interfaces, Thin Filmshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z19000Nanoscale Science and Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25140Surfaces (Physics).Interfaces (Physical sciences).Thin films.Superconductivity.Superconductors.Materials—Surfaces.Nanoscale science.Nanoscience.Nanostructures.Surface and Interface Science, Thin Films.Strongly Correlated Systems, Superconductivity.Surfaces and Interfaces, Thin Films.Nanoscale Science and Technology.537.623Ichinokura Satoruauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut835965MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300545203321Observation of Superconductivity in Epitaxially Grown Atomic Layers2529859UNINA
