Abstract:To uncover the critical effect of disorder on superconductivity, the ideal method is to visualize the microscopic crystalline deficiencies in real space while measuring the macroscopic superconducting properties. By using a self-developed multifunctional scanning tunneling microscope, we investigated the correlation between controllably introduced disorder and superconductivity in the Si(111)-7×3-In surface reconstruction. It is revealed that not only the density but also the spatial distribution of surface va… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
