Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have performed electron transport measurements on FeSe monolayers grown on SrTiO3 substrates in the ultrahigh vacuum environment. Thus far, no superconducting transition was observed for our samples. This is attributed to the fact that the conditions for preparing FeSe ultrathinfilms and/or for removing the Se protecting layer was not sufficiently good and eventually led to formation of disconnected ultrathin films. We also performed STM observation of the Si(111)-(root7xroot3)-In surface reconstruction, which exhibit superconductivity around 3 K. The STM image was observed to have a strong bias-voltage dependence together with a structural modulation with a long periodicity in the direction of [1 -1 0]. This indicated that the two atomic layer model proposed by Park-Kang was not accurate.
