摘要
位于基底上的二维（2D）超导体必须受到拉什巴自旋轨道耦合（SOC）的影响。拉什巴自旋轨道耦合（SOC）对铁基超导体（IBS）的奇妙影响在很大程度上仍是一个谜。在这项工作中，我们通过精确的扫描隧道光谱揭示了改良的朗道级光谱和 FeSe 单层错综复杂的能带分裂，明确证明了拉什巴 SOC 的存在。这一发现揭示了在 X 点和/或 Y 点的非抛物线电子带，显示出独特的朗道量子化行为，其特征为 En ∝ (nB)4/3。理论模型与我们的实验结果一致，认为电子带的 k4 项变得占主导地位，并深刻地重塑了电子带结构。我们的研究结果强调了拉什巴 SOC 效应在二维超导体中的关键作用，并为在载流子浓度极低的系统中探索新的量子态奠定了基础。
Landau-Level Quantization and Band Splitting of FeSe Monolayers Revealed by Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy.
Two-dimensional (2D) superconductors that reside on substrates must be influenced by Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC). The intriguing effect of Rashba-type SOCs on iron-based superconductors (IBSs) has remained largely a mystery. In this work, we unveil modified Landau-level spectroscopy and the intricate band splitting of FeSe monolayers through the precision of scanning tunneling spectroscopy, which unequivocally demonstrates the presence of Rashba SOC. The discovery sheds light on a nonparabolic electron band at the X and/orY point, displaying a distinctive Landau quantization behavior characterized by En ∝ (nB)4/3. The theoretical model aligns with our experimental insights, positing that the k4-term of the electron band becomes predominant and profoundly reshapes the band structure. Our results underscore the pivotal role of the Rashba SOC effect on 2D superconductors and set the stage to probe new quantum states in systems with remarkably low carrier concentrations.
