摘要:

用分子束外延技术成功地制备了超导碱金属富勒烯(A $_x$ C $_{60}$,A = K,Rb,Cs)薄膜,克服了A $_x$ C $_{60}$体相分离和空气敏感的缺点,首次在分子尺度上直接研究了碱金属富勒烯的超导电性。在本文中,我们简要地回顾了最近的低温扫描隧道显微镜的结构,电子和超导性能的fcc A $_x$ C $_{60}$膜生长在石墨化SiC衬底上的结果。强大的$s$波超导性揭示对赝隙,电子关联,非磁性杂质,和半面体无序。通过控制碱金属种类、膜厚和电子掺杂,我们系统地调节了A-$_x$-C-$_{60}$膜中C $_{60}^{x-}$的取向有序和超导电性,从而完成了超导能隙尺寸与电子关联和掺杂的统一相图。这些研究是结论性的,并阐明了$s$波超导保留在碱金属富勒烯,尽管电子相关和赝隙的存在。

英文摘要:

The successful preparation of superconducting alkali fulleride (A$_x$C$_{60}$, A = K, Rb, Cs) films using state-of-the-art molecular beam epitaxy overcomes the disadvantages of the air-sensitivity and phase separation in bulk A$_x$C$_{60}$, enabling for the first time a direct investigation of the superconductivity in alkali fullerides on the molecular scale. In this paper, we briefly review recent cryogenic scanning tunneling microscopy results of the structural, electronic, and superconducting properties of the fcc A$_x$C$_{60}$ films grown on graphitized SiC substrates. Robust $s$-wave superconductivity is revealed against the pseudogap, electronic correlation, non-magnetic impurities, and merohedral disorder. By controlling the alkali metal species, film thickness, and electron doping, we systematically tune the C$_{60}^{x-}$ orientational orderings and superconductivity in A$_x$C$_{60}$ films and then complete a unified phase diagram of superconducting gap size vs electronic correlation and doping. These investigations are conclusive and elucidated that the $s$-wave superconductivity retains in alkali fullerides despite of the electronic correlation and presence of pseudogap.
