Flux pinning and relaxation in FeSe0.5Te0.5single crystals

Abstract: A high-quality FeSe0.5Te0.5 single crystal with Tc ∼ 14.8 K was obtained by the self-flux method. We present the temperature dependence of resistivity at various fields and the magnetization hysteresis loops at various temperatures. The upper critical field Hc2(T) with a criterion of 90% ρn follows Hc2(T) = Hc2(0)[1−T/Tc]n. A second peak (namely the fishtail effect) was observed in a large temperature region ranging from 6.5 K to 12 K. According to the theory of Dew-Hughes, we scaled the flux pinning force den… Show more

“…The powder XRD pattern of single crystal, four narrow and sharp peaks appear at about 2θ≈14.83 o , 29.41 o , 44.47 o , 60.50 o , which correspond to the reflected intensity from the (001), (002), (003), (004) planes of the tetragonal crystal structure with space group of P4/nmm. This result is in good agreement with earlier reports [11]. In addition to this, there exists some impurities at about 2θ ≈ 21.66 o , 24.02 o , 26.92 o , whose peaks are very weak.…”

“…Among the Fe-based superconductors, FeSe-11 so-called chalcogenides have drawn much attention because of their simplest structure and less toxicity compared to the As-based compounds. Morever, tetragonal FeSe which was reported with critical temperature Tc of 8K at ambient pressure, with the substitution of Te with Se, up to 14K in FeTe 1-x Se x compound [11] and up to 37K at hydrostatic pressure [12].…”

“…Generally, from the application point of view, SCs with high T c , high J c , and high H c2 are preferred; however, it is still a huge obstacle to enhancing the J c along with vortex pinning and other superconducting properties. Evidently, the J c , H c2 , and flux pinning were enhanced by both chemical and physical pressures on this iron-selenide system. The ionic radius of Mn is higher than that of Ni and also the Fe 0.99 Ni 0.01 Fe 0.5 Te 0.5 sample to have a negative chemical pressure and the corresponding change in T c . Further, it exhibits d T c /d P = +5 K/GPa up to 3 GPa followed by a decrease of T c and suppression at 10 GPa (quasi-hydrostatic pressure).…”

“…It occurs, when the increase of magnetic field leads to enhanced critical current density (J c ). The effect was observed in FeSe 1−x Te x [10,11], BaFe 2−x Ni x As 2 [12], BaFe 2−x Co x As 2 [13] single crystals, with it, several models were proposed to describe the effect [14]. The vortex glass state was evidenced in the FeSe 1−x Te x [15], (Ba,K)Fe 2 As 2 [16], BaFe 2−x Ni x As 2 [17], and in the oxypnictides SmFeAsO 0.85 [18] crystals.…”
