| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Layered superconductor FeSe exhibits superconducting transition temperature (Tc) at 8 K in bulk form. Recent spectroscopic measurements have revealed that Tc is significantly increased to 60 K in single monolayer form. However, ex-situ electrical transport properties has not clearly addressed so far possibly due to degradation in air. In this study, we fabricated electric-double-layer transistors based on FeSe thick films and established the method to etch the FeSe film down to monolayer using electrochemical reaction. This electrochemical etching method allows to investigate dependence of superconducting properties on film thickness, oxide substrates, and electric field. From systematic electrical transport measurements in FeSe electric-double-layer transistors, we found that the charge balance in a specific band structure plays an important role to induce the high temperature superconductivity.
