Using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we studied the vortex states of single-layer FeSe film on a SrTiO_{3} (100) substrate, and the local behaviors of superconductivity at sample boundaries. We clearly observed multiple discrete Caroli-de Gennes-Matricon states in the vortex core, and quantitative analysis shows their energies well follow the formula: E=μΔ^{2}/E_{F}, where μ is a half integer (±1/2,±3/2,±5/2…) and Δ is the mean superconducting gap over the Fermi surface. Meanwhile, a fully gapped spectrum without states near zero bias is observed at the [110]{Fe} oriented boundary of 1 and 2 ML FeSe films, and atomic step edge of 1 ML FeSe. Accompanied with theoretical calculations, our results indicate an s-wave pairing without sign change in the high-T{C} FeSe/SrTiO_{3} superconductor.
利用低温扫描隧道显微镜(STM),我们研究了生长在SrTiO₃(100)衬底上的单层FeSe薄膜的涡旋态,以及样品边界处超导的局域行为。我们清晰地观察到涡旋核中存在多个离散的卡罗利 - 德热纳 - 马蒂孔态,定量分析表明它们的能量很好地符合公式:E = μΔ²/E_F,其中μ为半整数(±1/2,±3/2,±5/2…),Δ为费米面上的平均超导能隙。同时,在1 ML和2 ML FeSe薄膜的[110]Fe取向边界以及1 ML FeSe的原子台阶边缘处,观察到了在零偏压附近没有态的完全能隙谱。结合理论计算,我们的结果表明高温超导FeSe/SrTiO₃超导体中存在无符号变化的s波配对。
