In this work we report the crystallization of iron chalcogenides compounds starting from a Fe(Se0.5Te0.5) solid pellet. The synthesis process is carried out at 675 degrees C using a molten chloride salts mixture and permitted to obtain well defined and easily separated hexagonal and tetragonal crystals, characterized by Fe-3(Se0.43Te0.57)(4) and Fe1.02Se0.41Te0.59 compositions respectively. The obtained tetragonal compound exhibits superconductivity at 14 K with critical current density of similar to 10(5) A/cm(2) at 5 K.

Abstract
In this work we report the crystallization of iron chalcogenides compounds starting from a Fe(Se0.5Te0.5) solid pellet. The synthesis process is carried out at 675 degrees C using a molten chloride salts mixture and permitted to obtain well defined and easily separated hexagonal and tetragonal crystals, characterized by Fe-3(Se0.43Te0.57)(4) and Fe1.02Se0.41Te0.59 compositions respectively. The obtained tetragonal compound exhibits superconductivity at 14 K with critical current density of similar to 10(5) A/cm(2) at 5 K.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
