Imaging the Electron-Boson Coupling in Superconducting FeSe
Abstract
Scanning tunneling spectroscopy has been used to reveal signatures of a bosonic mode in the local quasiparticle density of states of superconducting FeSe films. The mode appears below Tc as a 'dip-hump' feature at energy ~ 4.7 kBTc beyond the superconducting gap . Spectra on strained regions of the FeSe films reveal simultaneous decreases in and . This contrasts with all previous reports on other high-Tc superconductors, where locally anti-correlates with . A local strong coupling model is found to reconcile the discrepancy well, and to provide a unified picture of the electron-boson coupling in unconventional superconductors.
