In-situ spectroscopic studies and interfacial engineering on FeSe/oxide heterostructures: Insights on the interfacial superconductivity

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/24/11/117902

Abstract The discovery of high temperature superconductivity in single-layer FeSe/SrTiO₃ provides a new platform for exploring superconductivity and pursuing higher T_c (superconducting transition temperature) through fabricating artificial heterostructures. In this paper, we review the recent progress in studying and tuning the interfacial superconductivity in single-layer FeSe, through the combined in-situ spectroscopic studies and atomic-scale engineering. By fabricating artificial heterostructures, various interfacial factors were tuned, and the corresponding evolutions of electronic structure and superconducting gap behavior were investigated. These studies enrich the current understanding on the interfacial superconductivity, and provide clues for further enhancing T_c through interface engineering.

Keywords: single-layer FeSe high temperature superconductivity interface spectroscopic study
