Iron chalcogenide superconductors at high magnetic fields.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Iron chalcogenide superconductors have become one of the most investigated superconducting materials in recent years due to high upper critical fields, competing interactions and complex electronic and magnetic phase diagrams. The structural complexity, defects and atomic site occupancies significantly affect the normal and superconducting states in these compounds. In this work we review the vortex behavior, critical current density and high magnetic field pair-breaking mechanism in iron chalcogenide superconductors. We also point to relevant structural features and normal-state properties.

Superconducting properties of iron chalcogenide thin films.
Iron chalcogenides, binary FeSe, FeTe and ternary FeTe x Se1-x , FeTe x S1-x and FeTe:O x , are the simplest compounds amongst the recently discovered iron-based superconductors. Thin films of iron chalcogenides present many attractive features that are covered in this review, such as: (i) easy fabrication and epitaxial growth on common single-crystal substrates; (ii) strong enhancement of supe...
متن کاملMagnetic excitations in iron chalcogenide superconductors.
Nuclear magnetic resonance and neutron scattering experiments in iron chalcogenide superconductors are reviewed to make a survey of the magnetic excitations in FeSe, FeSe1-x Te x and alkali-metal-doped Ax Fe2-y Se2 (A = K, Rb, Cs, etc). In FeSe, the intimate relationship between the spin fluctuations and superconductivity can be seen universally for the variations in the off-stoichiometry, the ...
متن کاملComparative high-field magnetotransport of the oxypnictide superconductors RFeAsO1−xFx (R=La, Nd) and SmFeAsO1−
We compare magnetotransport of the three iron-arsenide-based compounds ReFeAsO Re=La, Sm, Nd in very high DC and pulsed magnetic fields up to 45 and 54 T, respectively. Each sample studied exhibits a superconducting transition temperature near the maximum reported to date for that particular compound. While high magnetic fields do not suppress the superconducting state appreciably, the resistiv...
متن کاملGiant enhancement in critical current density, up to a hundredfold, in superconducting NaFe0.97Co0.03 As single crystals under hydrostatic pressure
Tremendous efforts towards improvement in the critical current density "Jc" of iron based superconductors (FeSCs), especially at relatively low temperatures and magnetic fields, have been made so far through different methods, resulting in real progress. Jc at high temperatures in high fields still needs to be further improved, however, in order to meet the requirements of practical application...
متن کاملAchievement of practical level critical current densities in Ba1−xKxFe2As2/Ag tapes by conventional cold mechanical deformation
The recently discovered iron-based superconductors are potential candidates for high-field magnet applications. However, the critical current densities (J(c)) of iron-based superconducting wires remain far below the level needed for practical applications. Here, we show that the transport Jc of Ba₁-xKxFe₂As₂/Ag tapes is significantly enhanced by the combination process of cold flat rolling and ...
