在以前工作的基础上,进一步研究了SrTiO3(001)(STO)衬底上单层FeSe超导薄膜的分子束外延生长. 首先,通过去离子水刻蚀、盐酸溶液腐蚀和纯氧气氛中退火等步骤,获得台阶有序、具有单一TiO2终止的原子级平整表面的STO衬底,这是前提条件. 这个过程中酸的选择和退火过程中氧的流量是最为关键的因素. 其次,在FeSe薄膜的分子束外延生长中,选择适当的Fe源和Se 源束流以及衬底温度是关键因素. 如选择适当,生长模式为step-flow生长,这时得到的FeSe薄膜将是原子级平整的. 最后一步为退火,这个过程会增强FeSe薄膜结晶性以及它与SrTiO3衬底间的结合强度.

Based on our previous work, we have systematically investigated the molecular beam epitaxy growth of single unit-cell FeSe films on SrTiO3(001) substrates and studied the surface morphology by scanning tunneling microscopy. We found that there are three key steps to obtain large-scale uniform one unit-cell superconducting FeSe films. First, the STO(001) substrates should be treated by HCl etching and thermal annealing under oxygen flux so that a specific TiO2-terminated STO(001) surface with well-defined step-terrace structure could be obtained. Second, the Fe and Se fluxes and substrate temperature have to be controlled delicately. At last, post-growth annealing is also critical, which can remove extra Se adatoms, and more importantly facilitate the necessary electron transfer for superconductivity transition.-
