摘要

Two-dimensional (2D) superconductors attracted growing interest in condensed-matter physics research. In this work, we explore the superconducting properties of surface-functionalized, out-of-plane ordered double transition-metal MXenes (o-MXenes), which exhibit distinctive structural and electronic characteristics. Using first-principles calculations, we investigate the effects of electronic structure, electron–phonon coupling (EPC), anharmonicity, and anisotropy effect in superconductivity properties of o-MXenes. We examine a wide range of o-MXene systems, \({{\rm{M}}}_{2}{{\rm{M}}}^{{\prime} }\)M2MX2T2 (M = Mo, W; \({{\rm{M}}}^{{\prime} }\)M = Sc, Ti, V, Mo, Zr, Nb, Ta; X = C, N), functionalized with F, O, Cl, and H groups. Out of 128 candidates, 32 compounds are found to be mechanically, dynamically, and thermodynamically stable, exhibiting superconducting transition temperatures (Tc) from 0.1 K to 52 K. Notably, Mo2ScN2O2 exhibits the highest predicted Tc of 52 K and anisotropic two-gap superconductivity, with a weaker gap near 8–9 meV and a larger gap above 10.5 meV; incorporating anharmonic effects decreases its Tc slightly. We further analyze flat-band-induced EPC enhancement and present EPC matrix elements as functions of phonon wavevector q for distinct vibrational modes that show anharmonic behavior of these materials.
