Gate-controlled BCS-BEC crossover in a two-dimensional superconductor

Abstract

The Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) condensation and the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) are the two extreme limits of the ground state of the paired fermion systems. We report crossover behavior from the BCS condensation to the BEC realized in the two-dimensional (2D) superconductor, electron doped layered material ZrNCl. The phase diagram, established by simultaneous experiments of resistivity and tunneling spectra under the ionic gating, demonstrates the pseudogap phase at the low doping regime. In the low carrier density limit, $T_{\mathrm{BKT}}$ (Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature for 2D superconductors) scales as $T_{\mathrm{BKT}}/T_{\mathrm{F}}=0.12$, where $T_{\mathrm{F}}$ is the Fermi temperature, which is consistent with the theoretical upper bound expected in the BCS-BEC crossover regime. The present results indicate that the gate-doped semiconductor provides an ideal platform for the 2D BCS-BEC crossover without any added complexity, such as magnetic orders and density waves.
