报告摘要:
     In previous work we have found strong indications that the misfit layered superconducting single crystal (LaSe)1.14(NbSe2) behaves like a 1 K analog of the 100 K high-Tc superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox and that it may even exhibit the pseudogap behavior [1]. Then, we have also shown that the in-plane upper critical magnetic field of the misfit strongly exceeds the Pauli limit [2]. Recently, such strong upper critical fields have been detected in monolayer of NbSe2 with broken in-plane inversion symmetry and strong spin-orbit coupling [3]. The effect has been explaiend by Ising pairing in superconducting atomic layers.

I will present scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy measurements at very low temperatures and in high magnetic fields on (LaSe)1.14(NbSe2) and (LaSe)1.14(NbSe2)2 single crystals with the superconducting transition Tc around 1 K and 5 K, resp. Fourier transform of the surface topography maps shows besides the Bragg peaks due to hexagonal NbSe2 lattice also a long range modulation in the misfit direction and additional structures. Spectroscopy imaging STM conductance maps provide quasiparticle interference patterns indicating the Fermi surface similar to electron doped monolayer of  NbSe2 with strong spin-orbit coupling and Ising pairing, The tunneling density of states indicates a non-conventional superconductivity.
