Competing instabilities in FeSe/SrTiO₃ superlattices — •Michael Fechner and Nicola Spaldin — ETH Zurich, Department for Material Theory,CH-8093 Zurich, Switzerland

Intercalating FeSe with atomic layers[1] has recently experimentally been shown to lead to an tremendous increase in the superconducting T_C. Due to that we discuss here results from first-principle calculations of FeSe/SrTiO₃ superlattices. In particular we discuss the competition between lattice instabilities in SrTiO₃ and the spin density wave (SDW) in FeSe. It turns out that depending on the interface termination a suppression or enhancement of the SDW is found. Interface doping and hybridization of Fe-oxygen and Ti-Se at the interface explain the results. Finally we discuss the impact of different thicknesses of the two components on the magnetic and electronic properties.
