Particulate Generation on Surface of Iron Selenide Films by Air Exposure
arXiv:1901.08899 · doi:10.1007/s10948-019-5020-9
Abstract
Nanometer-sized particular structures are generated on the surfaces of FeSe epitaxial films directly after exposure to air; this phenomenon was studied in the current work because these structures are an obstacle to field-induced superconductivity in electric double-layer transistors using FeSe channel layers. Chemical analyses using field-effect scanning Auger electron spectroscopy revealed no clear difference in the chemical composition between the particular structures and the other flat surface region. This observation limits the possible origins of the particulate formation to light elements in air such as O, C, H, and N.
