Surface superconductor-insulator transition: Reduction of the critical electric field by Hartree-Fock potential

Abstract
Recently, a surface superconductor-insulator transition has been predicted for a bulk superconductor in an electric field applied perpendicular to its surface. The related calculations were performed within a one-dimensional Hubbard model by numerically solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) equations without the Hartree-Fock (HF) interaction potential. The phase diagram of the surface superconducting, metallic, and insulating states was obtained as dependent on the electric field and temperature. This diagram was found to be in agreement with experimental results reported previously for (Li,Fe)OHFeSe thin flakes. In the present work, by taking into account the HF potential, we find that the latter acts as a kind of an extra electrostatic potential that enhances the electric-field effects on the surface states. The qualitative features of the phase diagram remain the same but the surface superconductor-insulator transition occurs at significantly lower electric fields, which supports prospects of its experimental observation in bulk samples.
