Large, Homogeneous, and Isotropic Critical Current Density in Oxygen-Annealed Fe1+yTe0.6Se0.4 Single Crystal

We reported a controllable way of removing excess Fe in Fe1+yTe0.6Se0.4 by annealing in a fixed amount of O2. Compared with the weak superconductivity induced by dilute acids, O2 annealing can successfully induce bulk superconductivity. Proper O2 annealing changes the temperature dependence of resistivity at low temperatures from semiconducting to metallic, which comes from the deintercalation of excess Fe. Critical current densities with field along the c-axis and ab-plane are found almost isotropic with large values of 3*10^5 A/cm2 and 2.5*10^5 A/cm2 at 2 K. Furthermore, magneto-optical images reveal isotropic current flow within the ab-plane.

Pressure-induced superconductivity in PrOxFeAs

Superconductivity with Tc of 45 K was realized in the tetragonal ZrCuSiAs-type PrOxFeAs (x=0.75) under heat treatment of 1300 oC and pressure of 6 GPa for 2 hours. Although the sample prepared at 900 oC in vaccum possessed the same phase as that treated in pressure, the electrical transport measurement showed the similar behavior with its parent ReOFeAs (Re: rare-earth metal). This pressure-induced superconductivity could give us a hint to understand the origins of the newly-found iron based superconductors.

Low temperature synthesis and pressure induced insulator-metal transition of the newly found NdFeAsO0.75

As low as 900 oC, iron-based layered quaternary compound NdFeAsO0.75 was synthesized through solid state reaction method. XRD measurements illustrate almost pure phase of tetragonal phase NdFeAsO was formed. The synthesis temperature in our experiment is the lowest among all the reported methods without the help of any mineralizer. After further treatment under high pressure of 6 GPa at temperature of 1300 oC for 2 hours, the electrical transport property of NdFeAsO0.75 was transformed from insulator-like to metal- like behavior.
