We report high transition temperature superconductivity in one unit-cell (UC) thick FeSe films grown on a Seetched
SrTiO3(001) substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). A superconducting gap as large as 20 meV and
the magnetic field induced vortex state revealed by in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) suggest that
the superconductivity of the 1 UC FeSe films could occur around 77 K. The control transport measurement shows
that the onset superconductivity temperature is well above 50 K. Our work not only demonstrates a powerful
way for finding new superconductors and for raising ?C , but also provides a well-defined platform for systematic
studies of the mechanism of unconventional superconductivity by using different superconducting materials and
substrates.
