摘要:

在SrTiO 3(STO)衬底上生长的单层FeSe薄膜因其具有极高的超导临界温度(Tc)而受到人们的广泛关注。通常认为外延生长的单层FeSe/STO膜的组成是化学计量的,即,Fe和Se的比例为1:1。在这里,我们报告了大量的过剩铁的超导单层FeSe/STO膜的识别。通过在超导单层FeSe/STO膜上沉积Se,我们通过原位扫描隧道显微镜(STM)发现,在退火过程中,在比通常的生长温度($\sim$ 490° C)低得多的令人惊讶的低温($\sim$ 150° C)下,在第一层的顶部上形成第二层FeSe岛。这一观察结果被用来检测过量的Fe和估计其数量在单层FeSe/STO膜。检测到的过量Fe的量为至少20%,这对于超导单层FeSe/STO膜是令人惊讶地高的。在理解高Tc超导性时应考虑到这种大量过量Fe的发现,并指出进一步提高超导单层FeSe/STO膜中Tc的可能途径。

英文摘要:

The single-layer FeSe films grown on SrTiO3 (STO) substrates have attracted much attention because of its record high superconducting critical temperature (Tc). It is usually believed that the composition of the epitaxially grown single-layer FeSe/STO films is stoichiometric, i.e., the ratio of Fe and Se is 1:1. Here we report the identification of a large amount of excess Fe in the superconducting single-layer FeSe/STO films. By depositing Se onto the superconducting single-layer FeSe/STO films, we find by in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) the formation of the second-layer FeSe islands on the top of the first layer during the annealing process at a surprisingly low temperature ($\sim$150°C) which is much lower than the usual growth temperature ($\sim$490°C). This observation is used to detect excess Fe and estimate its quantity in the single-layer FeSe/STO films. The amount of excess Fe detected is at least 20% that is surprisingly high for the superconducting single-layer FeSe/STO films. The discovery of such a large amount of excess Fe should be taken into account in understanding the high-Tc superconductivity and points to a likely route to further enhance Tc in the superconducting single-layer FeSe/STO films.
