(Li1−xFex)OHFeSe Superconductors: Crystal Growth, Structure, and Electromagnetic Properties
نویسندگان
چکیده
This review focuses on the growth of high-quality (Li1−xFex)OHFeSe single crystals by a hydrothermal method using floating-zone-grown AxFe2−ySe2 (A = K, Rb, and Cs) as precursors. The structure, superconductivity, and magnetic behavior of the obtained crystals are highly influenced by the growth conditions, such as time, temperature, and composition. A phase diagram with temperature against the c-lattice constant is summarized including the antiferromagnetic spin density wave, superconducting, and paramagnetic phases.

Scrutinizing the double superconducting gaps and strong coupling pairing in (Li1−xFex)OHFeSe
In the field of iron-based superconductors, one of the frontier studies is about the pairing mechanism. The recently discovered (Li(1-x)Fe(x))OHFeSe superconductor with the transition temperature of about 40 K provides a good platform to check the origin of double superconducting gaps and high transition temperature in the monolayer FeSe thin film. Here we report a scanning tunnelling spectrosc...
متن کاملCoexistence of Magnetism and Superconductivity in Separate Layers of Iron-Based Superconductor Li1−xFex(OH)Fe1−ySe
The magnetic properties attributed to the hydroxide layer of Li1−xFex(OH)Fe1−ySe have been elucidated by the study of superconducting and non-superconducting members of this family of compounds. Both a.c. magnetometry and muon spin relaxation measurements of non-superconductors find a magnetic state existing below ≈ 10 K which exhibits slow relaxation of magnetisation. This magnetic state is ac...

Inspired by naturally occurring sulfide minerals, we present a new family of iron-based superconductors. A metastable form of FeS known as the mineral mackinawite forms two-dimensional sheets that can be readily intercalated by various cationic guest species. Under hydrothermal conditions using alkali metal hydroxides, we prepare three different cation and metal hydroxide-intercalated FeS phase...
متن کاملThe upper critical field and its anisotropy in ( Li 1 − x Fe x ) OHFe 1 −
The temperature dependence of the upper critical field (Hc2) in a (Li1−xFex)OHFe1−ySe single crystal (T 40 c≈ K) has been determined by means of magnetotransport measurements down to 1.4 K both for inter-plane (H c ∥ , H c c2 // ) and in-plane (H ab ∥ , H ab c2 // ) field directions in static magnetic fields up to 14 T and pulsed magnetic fields up to 70 T. H c c2 // exhibits a quasilinear incr...
متن کاملSingle Crystal Growth and Anisotropic Magnetic Properties of Li2Sr[Li1-xFexN]2
Up to now, investigation of physical properties of ternary and higher nitridometalates has been severely hampered by challenges concerning phase purity and crystal size. Employing a modified lithium flux technique, we are now able to prepare sufficiently large single crystals of the highly air and moisture sensitive nitridoferrate Li2Sr[Li1−xFexN]2 for anisotropic magnetization measurements. Th...
