مستخلص: The low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope and spectroscopy (STM/STS) are used to visualize superconducting states in the cleaved single crystal of 9% praseodymium-doped CaFe 2 As 2 (Pr-Ca122) with T c ≈ 30 K. The spectroscopy shows strong spatial variations in the density of states (DOS), and the superconducting map constructed from spectroscopy discloses a localized superconducting phase, as small as a single unit cell. The comparison of the spectra taken at 4.2 K and 22 K (below vs. close to the bulk superconducting transition temperature) from the exact same area confirms the superconducting behavior. Nanoscale superconducting states have been found near Pr dopants, which can be identified using dI/dV conductance maps at +300 mV. There is no correlation of the local superconductivity to the surface reconstruction domain and surface defects, which reflects its intrinsic bulk behavior. We, therefore, suggest that the local strain of Pr dopants is competing with defects induced local magnetic moments; this competition is responsible for the local superconducting states observed in this Fe-based filamentary superconductor.
