Mechanism of the insulator-to-metal transition and superconductivity in the spin liquid candidate NaYbSe2 under pressure

Abstract The quantum spin liquid candidate NaYbSe2 was recently reported to exhibit a Mott transition under pressure. Superconductivity was observed in the high-pressure metallic phase, raising the question concerning its relation with the low-pressure quantum spin liquid ground state. Here we combi...
