In this talk, we show that computer generated 2D compounds based on known layered compounds can be potential candidates for hosting unconventional superconductivity. We demonstrate this considering two examples.

The first example [1] includes FeSn based bilayer Kagome metal that show interplay of magnetism and superconductivity. Dimensional confinement from bulk to bilayer leads to flat band physics and Chern metallic phase with a nonzero anomalous Hall response along with a possible superconducting instability of the spin-polarized band resulting in a topological superconductor.

In the second example, a co-existence of Rashba & Ising Spin-Singlet Pairing is discovered in monolayer of IrTe2 [2]. The mean-field solution of spin-fluctuation mediated pairing interaction on a symmetry-constrained kp model capturing DFT fermi surface is found to show band-selective Rashba-like (in-plane) and Ising-like (out-of-plane) superconductivity. Remarkably, the superconducting gaps are odd in spin, orbital, and momentum channels despite the presence of global inversion symmetry.
