These experiments are based on existing simulations which indicate that a large change in the electron-phonon coupling parameter lambda is attainable. The simulations were explored in an effort to find an optimal hole geometry and an attempt was made to extend them to a hexagonal lattice of atoms. We obtained ~50nm circular holes spaced 120nm on both MoGe and NbSe2 while also producing contacts to measure these small structures.Show less
