“…Alternatively, superconductivity in A y Fe 1.6+x Se 2 may arise from a chemically separated superconducting phase in the matrix of the insulating block AF phase. Although transmission electron microscopy (TEM) [18][19][20][21] , X-ray/neutron diffraction 13,[22][23][24] , scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) 26 , Mössbauer spectroscopy 27 , muon spin relaxation 28 , apertureless scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy 29 , and nuclear magnetic resonance 30 experiments have provided ample evidence for phase separation, where superconductivity comprises about 10-20% of the volume of A y Fe 1.6+x Se 2 , there is currently no consensus on the chemical composition or crystal structure for the superconducting A y Fe 1.6+x Se 2 . For example, while some TEM 21 , X-ray scattering 24 , and STM 26 measurements suggest that the superconducting phase of A y Fe 1.6+x Se 2 is A z Fe 2 Se 2 with the BaFe 2 As 2 iron pnictide crystal structure [1][2][3] , other TEM and STM measurements propose that the superconducting phase consists of a single Fe vacancy for every eight Fe-sites arranged in a √ 8× √ 10 parallelogram structure [ Fig.…”
