Experimental facts

Can be doped with holes and electrons ( e.g. Te, Rb)
Nematic transition at 90K if undoped at ambient pressure
Superconducting down to a single layer, where Tc = 8K at ambient pressure; 30K under pressure
- electron doping can eliminate hole pocket at Gamma point; a problem for interband pairing mechanism
- If placed on top of STO, Tc rises dramatically, 80K; Presumably due to interfacial phonon with strong e-ph interaction
  - s-wave gap, 20meV https://arxiv.org/pdf/1504.02185.pdf
  - STO oxygen isotope effect observed
- review https://arxiv.org/pdf/1604.03566.pdf
magnetic order can be stripes or bistripes
"spin resonance" observed https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-00162-x
AF correlations decrease and stripe increase, below nematic transition https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms12182
