We study the electronic structure and superconductivity in a CuO₂ monolayer grown recently on the d-wave cuprate superconductor Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_8+δ. Density functional theory calculations indicate a significant charge transfer across the interface such that the CuO₂ monolayer is heavily overdoped into the hole-rich regime yet inaccessible in bulk cuprates. We show that both the Cu d_x²–y² and d_3z²–r² orbitals become important and the Fermi surface contains one electron and one hole pocket associated with the two orbitals, respectively. Constructing a minimal correlated two-orbital model for the e_g complex, we show that the spin-orbital exchange interactions produce a nodeless superconductor with extended s-wave pairing symmetry and a pairing energy gap comparable to the bulk d-wave gap, in agreement with recent experiments. Here, the findings point to a direction of realizing new high-T_c superconductors in ozone grown transition-metal-oxide monolayer heterostructures.
