Vortex lattice imaging in single crystal MgB2 by scanning tunneling spectroscopy

Description

We report on the results of scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements on single crystals of MgB2. Tunneling was performed parallel to the crystalline c-axis, and a single superconducting gap (Δπ=2.2 meV) associated with the π-band is observed. Vortex imaging in the π-band was performed with the field parallel to the c-axis. The vortices are found to be organized in a well-ordered hexagonal lattice
