Experimental Physics Investigator Stevan Nadj-Perge and colleagues’ newly developed experimental technique will enable studies of the superconducting gap in 2-D systems, something that has eluded scientists for 20 years. Nadj-Perge describes, "This unexpected discovery was made possible by the first successful realization of scanning tunneling microscopy experiments of an iron-based superconductor on a specialized device for studying such thin flakes. Such experiments had been hampered for nearly two decades by the presence of severe surface contamination. [Our team] developed a new experimental approach that enabled a sufficiently clean surface for microscopic probes."
