ARPES Studies on the substrate effect on monolayer FeSe

For 2D films, interface interactions can play a critical role in determining the prevailing physics of the system. In the case of FeSe on SrTiO3, reducing the FeSe thickness to 1 monolayer (ML) from bulk leads to a significantly increased superconducting transition temperature (Tc). To fully utilize and maximize this approach to increasing Tc in FeSe and potentially apply it to other superconducting materials, the role which the substrate plays in this system must be understood. Here we present recent in-situ angle-resolved photo emission studies of the substrate effect on MBE grown 1 ML FeSe films.
