      abstract = {This thesis presents first observations of  superconductivity in one- or two-atomic-scale thin layer  materials. The thesis begins with a historical overview of  superconductivity and the electronic structure of  two-dimensional materials, and mentions that these key  ingredients lead to the possibility of the two-dimensional  superconductor with high phase-transition temperature and  critical magnetic field. Thereafter, the thesis moves its  focus onto the implemented experiments, in which mainly two  different materials thallium-deposited silicon surfaces and  metal-intercalated bilayer graphenes, are used. The study  of the first material is the first experimental  demonstration of both a gigantic Rashba effect and  superconductivity in the materials supposed to be  superconductors without spatial inversion symmetry. The  study of the latter material is relevant to  superconductivity in a bilayer graphene, which was a big  experimental challenge for a decade, and has been first  achieved by the author. The description of the generic and  innovative measurement technique, highly effective in  probing electric resistivity of ultra-thin materials  unstable in an ambient environment, makes this thesis a  valuable source for researchers not only in surface physics  but also in nano-materials science and other  condensed-matter physics.},
