摘要
We have constructed an ultrahigh vacuum system in which surface conductivity is measured in situ by micro four -point probe method down to 0.8 K, combined with conventional surface preparation/analysis capability. In order to reduce the data scattering due to changes of the probe spacing, we have employed a dual configuration method in which the combinations with current/voltage probes are switched. The surface-state superconductivity of Si(111)-\/77 x '0-In surface superstructure was confirmed with the critical temperature of 2.8 K. The critical magnetic field was 0.3-0.4 T in the surface-normal direction.
