Abstract

2D superconductors exhibit novel aspects which are distinct from those of the 3D counterparts. Vortex matter is one of them. Here, the authors report a dynamical vortex phase diagram at zero magnetic field for ion-gated MoS${}_{2}$. They find that superconductivity is destroyed by current through the dissociation of vortex-antivortex pairs with multiple steps. They are accounted for by the kinematic vortex flow states, including phase slip line formation. Based on the present result, the authors present a comprehensive vortex phase diagram for clean 2D superconductors.
