Abstract
High transition temperature () superconductivity in FeSe/ has been widely discussed on the possible mechanisms in conjunction with the various effects of interface between FeSe and substrate. By employing an electric-double-layer transistor configuration, which enables both the electrostatic carrier doping and electrochemical thickness tuning, we investigated the interfacial effect on the high- phase at around 40 K in FeSe films deposited on , MgO, and substrates. The systematic study on thickness dependence of transport properties under a certain gate voltage reveals the universal trend of the onset against the Hall coefficient in all the FeSe films, irrespective of the substrate materials in which the different contribution of interfacial effect is expected. The independence of the highest on substrate materials evidences that the high- superconductivity at around 40 K does not primarily originate from a specific interface combination but from a charge carrier filling at specific electronic band structure.
