Rencently, Jie Wu lab published a research article entitled "Reentrance of interface superconductivity in a high-Tc cuprate hetrostructure" in Nature communications. 

This work illustrates that the interfacial charge transfer is not solely determined by the difference in chemical potentials between two parent compounds. Instead, the electric transport properties of compounds, such as the mobility of carriers, also play a vital role.This work shines a light on the long-standing puzzle of whether a (super)conducting interfacial layer can form in certain heterostructures and provides a guideline for searching for novel materials with interface superconductivity.
