Abstract
We prepare single-layer potassium-doped iron selenide (110) film by molecular-beam expitaxy. Such a single-layer film can be viewed as a two-dimensional system composed of weakly coupled two-leg iron ladders. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy reveals that superconductivity is developed in this two-leg ladder system. The superconducting gap is similar to that of the multilayer films. However, the Fermi-surface topology in this quasi-one-dimensional system is remarkably different from that of the bulk materials. Our results suggest that superconducting pairing is very short ranged or takes place rather locally in iron chalcogenides. The superconductivity is most likely driven by electron-electron correlation effect and is insensitive to the change of Fermi surfaces.
