through doping*

A new member of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) family, 2M-WS₂, has been recently discovered and shown to display superconductivity with a critical temperature (T_c) of 8.8 K, the highest T_c among superconducting TMDs at ambient pressure. Using first-principles calculations combined with the anisotropic Migdal-Eliashberg formalism, we explore how the superconducting properties of 2M-WS₂ can be enhanced through doping. We find that compared to the parent compound the electron-phonon coupling can be increased by p-type doping, leading to an enhancement of the T_c up to 50%.
