External dielectric screening can be used to efficiently tune the Coulomb interaction and plasmonic excitations in layered materials. At the same time, two-dimensional plasmons couple strongly to electrons due to their gapless square-root-like dispersion, which renders them particularly interesting for tunable superconductivity in layered materials. Here, we extend density functional theory for superconductors (SC-DFT) to account for both the full dynamic Coulomb interaction and phonon contributions in two dimensions. We apply this scheme to monolayer MoS₂ and find that external screening indeed strongly enhances the superconducting critical temperature in the low-doping regime.
