摘要:

用扫描隧道显微镜(STM)和光谱学(STS)研究了LiFeAs中的缺陷。五个主要缺陷的形貌图像允许识别它们在晶格内的位置。最常见的缺陷是与铁网站,并没有打破当地的晶格对称性,表现出在这个多间隙超导体的较小的间隙的边缘附近的束缚态。其他三个常见的缺陷,包括一个也在Fe网站上,观察到打破局部晶格对称性,并对打破明确的间隙束缚态,除了附近的较小的间隙边缘的状态。STS图揭示了复杂的,扩展的实空间束缚态模式,包括一个手性分布的局部态密度(LDOS)。观察到的间隙内和内部间隙边缘的多个束缚态共振与理论预测的s $^{\pm}$间隙对称性提出的LiFeAs和其他铁pnictides。

英文摘要:

Defects in LiFeAs are studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS). Topographic images of the five predominant defects allow the identification of their position within the lattice. The most commonly observed defect is associated with an Fe site and does not break the local lattice symmetry, exhibiting a bound state near the edge of the smaller gap in this multi-gap superconductor. Three other common defects, including one also on an Fe site, are observed to break local lattice symmetry and are pair-breaking indicated by clear in-gap bound states, in addition to states near the smaller gap edge. STS maps reveal complex, extended real-space bound state patterns, including one with a chiral distribution of the local density of states (LDOS). The multiple bound state resonances observed within the gaps and at the inner gap edge are consistent with theoretical predictions for s$^{\pm}$ gap symmetry proposed for LiFeAs and other iron pnictides.
