Proximity-induced superconductivity is demonstrated in these new ordered structures by measurements of low-temperature tunneling spectra. The modulation of superconduc- tivity by the reconstruction provides an opportunity to understand the interplay between superconductivity and charge orders.展开更多

In particular, coexistence of both surface phases well below Tc and their specific influence on the step-flow growth behavior are considered. We presume that under dynamical condition of growth, the surface initially covered by only the (7×7) phase separates into domains surrounded by "1×1" areas. On such a surface, the overall supersaturation should be reduced drastically compared to a surface with only (7×7), resulting in much larger critical terrace width for nucleation.展开更多
