摘要:

用粉末同步辐射X射线衍射法对Fe-1111超导体家族新成员CaFe 1-xCoxAsF和SrFe 1-xCoxAsF(x = 0,0.06,0.12)的晶体结构进行了精细化分析.未取代的CaFeAsF和未取代的SrFeAsF分别在~120 K和~180 K发生了四方相到正交相的相变,相变温度与随温度变化的电阻率曲线中观察到的扭结一致。虽然转变温度降低,结构相变在x = 0.06的两个样品中观察到低于100 K,最后,它们被抑制在x = 0.12的掺杂水平。精细结构显示,从正四面体的FeAs 4四面体的扭曲可能源于组成元素之间的原子半径的不匹配。在该体系中,由于Sr的半径大于Ca的半径,增大的FeAs_4四面体沿a-b平面变平,而Ca的半径减小,使四面体更接近于规则四面体,Co的替代进一步强化了它们的特征形状。这些结果表明,CaFeAsF化合物是一个有前途的候选人的高Tc超导体。

英文摘要:

We refined crystal structures of newly found members of the Fe-1111 superconductor family, CaFe\_{1-x}Co\_{x}AsF and SrFe\_{1-x}Co\_{x}AsF (x = 0, 0.06, 0.12) by powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction analysis. The tetragonal to orthorhombic phase transitions were observed at ~120 K for unsubstituted CaFeAsF and at ~180 K for unsubstituted SrFeAsF, the transition temperatures agreeing with kinks observed in temperature-dependent resistivity curves. Although the transition temperature decreases, the structural phase transitions were observed below 100 K in both samples of x = 0.06, and finally they were suppressed in the doping level of x = 0.12. The refined structures reveal that distortions of the FeAs4 tetrahedron from the regular tetrahedron likely originate from mismatches in atomic radii among the constituent elements. In this system, the enlarged FeAs4 tetrahedron resulting from larger radius of Sr than that of Ca is flattened along a-b plane, whereas the smaller radius of Ca makes the tetrahedron closer to regular one, and their characteristic shapes are further enhanced by Co substitution. These results suggest that the CaFeAsF compound is a promising candidate for higher-Tc superconductor.
