(Tl,K)FexSe2 single crystals were first successfully synthesized with the Bridgeman method. The physical properties are characterized by electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility and Hall coefficient. We found that (1.30 ⩽ x 1.65) compounds show an antiferromagetic (AFM) insulator behavior, which may be associated Fe-vacancy ordering in crystals. While 1.70 < 1.78 crystals, superconductivity (SC) coexists insulating phase. As Fe content further increases, bulk SC Tc=31 K (and a Tconset...
Single-crystal neutron diffraction studies on superconductors ${A}_{2}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{4}{\mathrm{Se}}_{5}$, where $A=\mathrm{Rb}$, Cs, (Tl, Rb), and K) (${T}_{c}\ensuremath{\sim}30\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{K}$), uncover the same Fe vacancy ordered crystal structure block antiferromagnetic order as in ${\mathrm{K}}_{2}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{4}{\mathrm{Se}}_{5}$.

Single crystals of Tl0.58Rb0.42Fe1.72Se2 are successfully grown with the superconducting transition temperatures Tconset=32K and Tczero=31.4K. The Hall coefficient exhibits a multi-band behavior, which is very similar to that all other Fe-based superconductors. We found susceptibility at normal state decreases decreasing temperature, indicating strong antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin fluctuation state, might be related superconductivity (SC). also determined upper critical fields in ab-plane...
We performed a high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study of the Tl0.63K0.37Fe1.78Se2 superconductor (Tc=29 K). show existence two electron-like bands at M(π, 0)-point which cross Fermi level similar wave vectors to form nearly circular surface pockets. observe isotropic ∼8.5 meV superconducting gap (2Δ/kBTc∼7) on these surfaces. Our analysis band structure around Brillouin zone centre reveals additional surfaces: very small one and larger with kF comparable surfaces M....

The high upper critical field and low anisotropy of iron-based superconductors make them being particularly attractive for high-field applications. However, the current carrying capability needs to be enhanced by overcoming weak-link effect between misaligned grains inside wire tape conductors. Here we demonstrate a transport density (Jc) reaching 1.5x10^5 A/cm^2 (Ic = 437 A) at 4.2 K 10 T in Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 (Ba-122) tapes prepared combination conventional powder-in-tube method optimized...

A revised magnetism and phase diagram is obtained via resistance magnetic-susceptibility measurements for system. It found that coexists antiferromagnetic order 0.05 $\ensuremath{\le}$ x 0.18. The very similar to case of K-doping or Co-doping BaFe${}_{2}$As${}_{2}$ as well SmFeAsO${}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$F${}_{x}$ system, perhaps indicating all iron-based...
High-performance Sr0.6K0.4Fe2As2 (Sr-122) tapes have been successfully fabricated using hot pressing (HP) process. The effect of HP temperatures (850-925 C) on the c-axis texture, resistivity, Vickers micro-hardness, microstructure and critical current properties has systematically studied. Taking advantage high degree well grain connectivity large concentration strong-pinning defects, we are able to obtain an excellent Jc 1.2x10^5 A/cm^2 at 4.2 K 10 T for Sr-122 tapes. More importantly,...

Big achievement has been made pnictide during past years. For practical uses, superconductor should be fabricated a long wire form which can used for different devices. In this work, 100 m class 7-core Sr0.6K0.4Fe2As2 (Sr122) tapes have using powder-in-tube technique, is reported first time. Clearly, an average Jc of 1.3x10^4 A/cm^2 at 10 T was...
Abstract Superconducting round wires with isotropic architecture are preferred in fabrications of cables and magnets. To diminish the obstacles to supercurrent, e.g., voids, cracks bubbles, over-pressure heat treatment or hot isostatic pressing is indispensable final annealing process. Here, we fabricated a stainless steel/Cu/Ag sheathed Ba 0.6 K 0.4 Fe 2 As superconducting wire without aid high-pressure sintering. It was found that high-strength outer sheaths groove rolling synergistically...
We have made the first observation of superconductivity in TlNi2Se2 at T(C)=3.7 K, and it appears to involve heavy electrons with an effective mass m*=(14-20)m(b), as inferred from normal-state electronic specific heat upper critical field, H(C2)(T). found that zero-field specific-heat data, C(es)(T) (0.5 K≤T<3.7 K) superconducting state can be fitted a two-gap BCS model, indicating seems multiband superconductor, which is consistent band calculation for isostructural KNi2S2. It also...
We performed a high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study on superconducting (SC) Tl$_{0.63}$K$_{0.37}$Fe$_{1.78}$Se$_2$ ($T_c=29$ K) in the whole Brillouin zone (BZ). In addition to nearly isotropic $\sim$ 8.2 meV 2-dimensional (2D) SC gap ($2\Delta/k_BT_c\sim7$) quasi-2D electron Fermi surfaces (FSs) located around M$(\pi,0,0)$-A$(\pi,0,\pi)$, we observe $\sim 6.2$ ($2\Delta/k_BT_c\sim5$) Z-centered FS that rules out any d-wave pairing symmetry and rather favors an...
