Interfacial superconductivity in a bi-collinear antiferromagnetically ordered FeTe monolayer on a topological insulator

The microscopic picture of how superconductivity is linked to antiferromagnetic order in Fe-based compounds remains elusive. Here, Mannaet al. report superconducting correlations which spatially coexist with bi-collinear antiferromagnetic order in a one unit cell thin layer of FeTe grown on Bi2Te3.
