“…9 Furthermore, the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibilities χ of the Te-annealed Fe 1+y Te 1−x Se x single crystals exhibited sharp superconducting transitions (∆ T c ≤ 1 K) with onset temperatures corresponding to 12.1, 12.8, 13.7, and 14.5 K, for x = 0.15, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4, respectively. 10 The data confirm that the superconducting properties of the Te-annealed samples are very good. Additionally, it should be noted that all the samples exhibit the Meissner signal (negative value in the FC data) although the signal is very weak, and this can be attributed to the sufficient removal of excess Fe by Te-annealing.…”
