AI总结:

本文研究了K$_x$Fe$_{2-y}$Se$_2$的微观结构与超导性关系,发现其内部存在三维超导细丝网络,并证实超导相具有每8个Fe位点含1个Fe空位的$\sqrt{10}\times\sqrt{8}$平行四边形结构,为新母相K$_2$Fe$_7$Se$_8$提供了证据。

摘要:

新型超导材料的探索因铁基超导体的发现而受到推动,其结构与组成在性质上不同于铜氧化物。其中一种材料K$_x$Fe$_{2-y}$Se$_2$(临界温度为32 K)的研究因相分离而变得更加困难:它分离为两个相,即具有K$_2$Fe$_4$Se$_5$结构的占主导的反铁磁绝缘相,以及精确结构尚不明确的少数超导相。在此,我们对在不同淬火过程下制备的K$_x$Fe$_{2-y}$Se$_2$晶体进行了电学和磁化测量、扫描电子显微镜与微分析、X射线衍射以及扫描隧道显微镜研究,以更好地理解其微观结构与超导相之间的关系。我们识别出该材料内部存在一个三维超导细丝网络,并提出证据表明,超导相包含每8个Fe位点中有一个Fe空位,排列成$\sqrt{10}\times\sqrt{8}$平行四边形结构。

英文摘要:

The search for new superconducting materials has been spurred on by the discovery of iron-based superconductors whose structure and composition is qualitatively different from the cuprates. The study of one such material, K$_x$Fe$_{2-y}$Se$_2$ with a critical temperature of 32 K, is made more difficult by the fact that it separates into two phases: a dominant antiferromagnetic insulating phase with a K$_2$Fe$_4$Se$_5$ structure, and a minority superconducting phase whose precise structure is as yet unclear. Here we perform electrical and magnetization measurements, scanning electron microscopy and microanalysis, X-ray diffraction, and scanning tunnelling microscopy on K$_x$Fe$_{2-y}$Se$_2$ crystals prepared under different quenching processes to better understand the relationship between its microstructure and its superconducting phase. We identify a 3D network of superconducting filaments within this material and present evidence to suggest that the superconducting phase consists of a single Fe vacancy for every eight Fe-sites arranged in a $\sqrt{10}\times\sqrt{8}$ parallelogram structure.
