Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We report the relationship between the surface superstructure of SrTiO3(001) (STO) substrate and superconducting properties of single unit cell (1 UC) FeSe films using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS). Under reflection high-energy-electron diffraction (RHEED) observation, we controlled the periodicity of the STO surface to 2×1 and √2×√2 by changing the annealing temperature and grew high-quality FeSe films. We found that the substrate periodicity can be imaged through the 1 UC FeSe from high-resolution STM observations and obtained clear evidence that the superconducting gap size depends on the surface periodicity (10-15 meV on 2×1 and 15-17.5 meV on √2×√2) for the first time. The results are discussed in terms of the surface termination of the STO substrate.
