Abstract

Superconductivity is one of the most fascinating collective phenomena. The BCS theory, which explains the microscopic origin of superconductivity, remains the greatest triumph in modern physics. The remarkable discovery of high Tc superconductivity in copper- and iron-based compounds has challenged our understanding of condensate matter physics. Solving this mystery should help us to realize the dissipationless electricity in room temperature. Furthermore, a superconductor with non-trivial topology can host the elusive Majorana excitations, which may lead to the fault-tolerant quantum computation.
In this talk, I will summarize our efforts to unravel the underlying mechanism of iron-based superconductors and present our continuing search for the topological superconductors by using spectroscopic imaging scanning tunneling microscopy. I will also discuss our future plans to investigate the spectroscopic fingerprints of topological superconductivity. Download: http://real.sinica.edu.tw:8080/ramgen/phys/20181204-Tien-MingChuang.mp4
