In this study, we investigated the gate voltage dependence of $T_{mathrm c}$ in electrochemically etched FeSe films with an electric-double layer transistor structure. The $T_{mathrm c}^{mathrm {zero}}$ value of the etched FeSe films with a lower gate voltage ($V_{mathrm g}$ = 2.5 and 3.3 V) reaches 46 K, which is the highest value among almost all reported values from the resistivity measurements except for the data by Ge et al. This enhanced $T_{mathrm c}$ remains unchanged even after the discharge process, unlike the results for electrostatic doping without an etching process. Our results suggest that the origin of the increase in $T_{mathrm c}$ is not electrostatic doping but rather the electrochemical reaction at the surface of an etched films.

Among the recently discovered iron-based superconductors, ultrathin films of FeSe grown on SrTiO3 substrates have uniquely evolved into a high superconducting-transition-temperature (TC) material. The mechanisms for the high-TC superconductivity are
ongoing debate mainly with the superconducting gap characterized with in-situ analysis for FeSe films grown by bottom-up molecular-beam epitaxy. Here, we demonstrate the alternative access to investigate the high-TC superconductivity in ultrathin FeSe with top-down electrochemical etching technique in three-terminal transistor configuration. In addition to the high-TC FeSe on SrTiO3, the electrochemically etched ultrathin FeSe transistor on MgO also exhibits superconductivity around 40 K, implying that the application of electric-field effectively contributes to the high-TC superconductivity in ultrathin FeSe regardless of substrate material. Moreover, the observable critical thickness for the high-TC superconductivity is expanded up to 10-unit-cells under applying electric-field and the insulator-superconductor transition is electrostatically controlled. The present demonstration implies that the electric-field effect on both conduction and valence bands plays a crucial role for inducing high-TC superconductivity in FeSe.
We describe the transport properties of mesoscopic devices based on the two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) present at the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface. Bridges with lateral dimensions down to 500~nm were realized using electron beam lithography. Th
eir detailed characterization shows that processing and confinement do not alter the transport parameters of the 2DEG. The devices exhibit superconducting behavior tunable by electric field effect. In the normal state, we measured universal conductance fluctuations, signature of phase-coherent transport in small structures. The achievement of reliable lateral confinement of the 2DEG opens the way to the realization of quantum electronic devices at the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface.
Iron selenide (FeSe) - the structurally simplest iron-based superconductor, has attracted tremendous interest in the past years. While the transition temperature (Tc) of bulk FeSe is $sim$ 8 K, it can be significantly enhanced to 40 - 50 K by various
ways of electron doping. However, the underlying physics for such great enhancement of Tc and so the Cooper pairing mechanism still remain puzzles. Here, we report a systematic study of the superconducting- and normal-state properties of FeSe films via ionic liquid gating. With fine tuning, Tc evolves continuously from below 10 K to above 40 K; in situ two-coil mutual inductance measurements unambiguously confirm the gating is a uniform bulk effect. Close to Tc, the normal-state resistivity shows a linear dependence on temperature and the linearity extends to lower temperatures with the superconductivity suppressed by high magnetic fields. At high fields, the normal-state magnetoresistance exhibits a linear-in-field dependence and obeys a simple scaling relation between applied field and temperature. Consistent behaviors are observed for different-Tc states throughout the gating process, suggesting the pairing mechanism very likely remains the same from low- to high-Tc state. Importantly, the coefficient of the linear-in-temperature resistivity is positively correlated with Tc, similarly to the observations in cuprates, Bechgaard salts and iron pnictide superconductors. Our study points to a short-range antiferromagnetic exchange interaction mediated pairing mechanism in FeSe.
Superconductivity develops in bulk doped SrTiO$_3$ and at the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface with a dome-shaped density dependence of the critical temperature $T_c$, despite different dimensionalities and geometries. We propose that the $T_c$ dome of
LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ is a shape resonance due to quantum confinement of superconducting bulk SrTiO$_3$. We substantiate this interpretation by comparing the exact solutions of a three-dimensional and quasi-two-dimensional two-band BCS gap equation. This comparison highlights the role of heavy bands for $T_c$ in both geometries. For bulk SrTiO$_3$, we extract the density dependence of the pairing interaction from the fit to experimental data. We apply quantum confinement in a square potential well of finite depth and calculate $T_c$ in the confined configuration. We compare the calculated $T_c$ to transport experiments and provide an explanation as to why the optimal $T_c$s are so close to each other in two-dimensional interfaces and the three-dimensional bulk material.
Temperature (12K $le$ T $le$ 300K) dependent extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) studies at the Fe K edge in FeSe$_{1-x}$Te$_x$ (x = 0, 0.5 and 1.0) compounds have been carried out to understand the reasons for increase in T$_C$ upon Te
doping in FeSe. While local distortions are present near superconducting onset in FeSe and FeSe$_{0.5}$Te$_{0.5}$, they seem to be absent in non superconducting FeTe. Of crucial importance is the variation of anion height. In FeSe$_{0.5}$Te$_{0.5}$, near superconducting onset, the two heights, $h_{Fe-Se}$ and $h_{Fe-Te}$ show a nearly opposite behaviour. These changes indicate a possible correlation between Fe-chalcogen hybridization and the superconducting transition temperature in these Fe-chalcogenides.
