单层FeSe薄膜/氧化物界面高温超导

单层FeSe/SrTiO₃界面增强超导的发现为理解高温超导机理提供了一个新的途径,也为实现新的高温超导体开拓了新思路.本文通过在SrTiO₃（001）表面高温沉积Mg进而沉积单层FeSe薄膜,制备出了FeSe/MgO双层/SrTiO₃异质结.利用扫描隧道显微镜研究了异质结的电学及超导特性,观测到约14–15 meV的超导能隙,比体相FeSe超导能隙值增大了5–6倍,与K掺杂双层FeSe/SrTiO₃的超导能隙值相当.这一结果可理解为能带弯曲造成的界面电荷转移和界面处电声耦合共同作用导致的超导增强.FeSe/MgO界面是继FeSe/TiO₂之后的一个新界面超导体系,为研究界面高温超导机理提供了新载体.     

Zirconium Aided Epitaxial Growth of In_xSe_y on InP(111) Substrates

Layered material indium selenide(In_xSe_y) is a promising candidate for building next-generation electronic and photonic devices. We report a zirconium aided MBE growth of this van der Waals material. When codepositing zirconium and selenium onto an indium phosphide substrate with a substrate temperature of 400℃ at a constant zirconium flux rate of 0.01 ML/min, the polymorphic In_xSe_y layer emerges on top of the insulating ZrSe₂ layer. Differen...     

Pressure-Induced Superconductivity in the Charge-Density-Wave Compound LaTe2-xSbx(x=0 and 0.4)

Magnetic CeTe₂ achieving superconductivity under external pressure has received considerable attention.The intermingling of 4f and 5d electrons from Ce raised the speculation of an unconventional pairing mechanism arising from magnetic fluctuations.Here,we address this speculation using a nonmagnetic 4f-electron-free LaTe₂as an example.No structural phase transition can be observed up to 35 GPa in the in situ synchrotron diffraction patterns.Subsequent high-pressure electri...
