ABSTRACT
Transition metal dichalcogenide nanotubes are fascinating platforms for the research of superconductivity due to their unique dimensionalities and geometries. Here we report the diameter dependence of superconductivity in individual WS2 nanotubes. The superconductivity is realized by electrochemical doping via the ionic gating technique in which the diameter of the nanotube is estimated from the periodic oscillating magnetoresistance, known as the Little-Parks effect. The critical temperature of superconductivity displays an unexpected linear behavior as a function of the inverse diameter, that is, the curvature of the nanotube. The present results are an important step in understanding the microscopic mechanism of superconductivity in a nanotube, opening up a new way of superconductivity in crystalline nanostructures.
