Substitution Effects on FeSe Superconductor

We have investigated the effect of atomic substitutions in the FeSe system, which exhibits the simplest crystal structure among the iron-based superconductors. An enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature Tc was observed with the substitution of S or Te for Se; the Tc increased with S substitution by up to 20 %, and also increased with Te substitution up to 75 %. In contrast, Co or Ni substitutions for the Fe site significantly suppressed superconductivity. In this work we present a detailed description of the substitution technique employed to determine Tc in the FeSe system.

Superconductivity in S-substituted FeTe

We have successfully synthesized a new superconducting phase of FeTe1-xSx with a PbO-type structure. It has the simplest crystal structure in iron-based superconductors. Superconducting transition temperature is about 10 K at x = 0.2. The upper critical field Hc2 was estimated to be ~70 T. The coherent length was calculated to be ~2.2 nm. Because FeTe1-xSx is composed of nontoxic elements, this material is a candidate for applications and will activate more and more research on iron-based superconductor.

Growth of superconducting single-crystalline (Lu, Ca)Ba2Cu3O7-d whiskers

Single-crystalline (Lu, Ca)Ba2Cu3O7-d (Lu(Ca)123) whiskers have been successfully grown using the Te-doping method. X-ray diffraction patterns of Lu(Ca)123 whiskers showed sharp (0 0 l) peaks corresponding to REBa2Cu3O7-d phase (RE = rare earth elements). Transport measurements showed that the superconducting transition occurred at 83 K in the obtained whiskers.

FeTe as a candidate material for new iron-based superconductor

Tetragonal FeSe is a superconductor with a transition temperature Tc of 8 K and shows a huge enhancement of Tc with applying pressure. Tetragonal FeTe has a structure very analogous to superconducting FeSe, but does not show superconducting transition. We investigated the pressure effect of resistivity on FeTe. The resistivity at room temperature decreased with increasing pressure. An anomaly in resistivity around 80 K shifted towards a lower temperature with increasing pressure.
