This study is focused on the phase separation phenomena in Fe(Se,Te) materials. In particular, it investigates the effect of a high temperature and long time annealing treatment on morphostructural and superconducting properties of bulk samples. The synthesis of Fe(Se,Te) compounds was carried out through a melting route, and the materials were characterized in their morphostructural and magnetic properties. The obtained compounds possess a high degree of inhomogeneity due to dendritic precipitates of secondary phases in a superconducting tetragonal matrix. The high temperature annealing treatment induces a morphological evolution of the material and leads to the structuration of two distinct superconducting phases.

Abstract
This study is focused on the phase separation phenomena in Fe(Se,Te) materials. In particular, it investigates the effect of a high temperature and long time annealing treatment on morphostructural and superconducting properties of bulk samples. The synthesis of Fe(Se,Te) compounds was carried out through a melting route, and the materials were characterized in their morphostructural and magnetic properties. The obtained compounds possess a high degree of inhomogeneity due to dendritic precipitates of secondary phases in a superconducting tetragonal matrix. The high temperature annealing treatment induces a morphological evolution of the material and leads to the structuration of two distinct superconducting phases.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
