| contents | The combination of a superconductor with a magnetically inhomogeneous material has been established as an efficient mechanism for the generation of long-ranged spin-polarized (spin-triplet) Cooper pairs. Evidence for this mechanism, however, has been established based on studies done on three-dimensional systems, where the strong bonds existing at the interface between the superconductor and the magnetic material should in principle enhance proximity effects and strengthen any electronic correlations. Here, we fabricate devices based on van der Waals stacks of flakes of the two-dimensional superconductor $NbS_2$ combined with flakes of $Cr_{1/3}NbS_2$, which has a built-in magnetic inhomogeneity due to its helimagnetic spin texture at low temperatures. We find that the critical temperature of these vdW bilayers is strongly dependent on the magnetic state of $Cr_{1/3}NbS_2$, whose degree of magnetic inhomogeneity can be controlled via an applied magnetic field. Our results demonstrate evidence for the generation of long-ranged spin-triplet pairs across the $Cr_{1/3}NbS_2$/$NbS_2$ vdW interface. |
