摘要:

本文首次报道了用一种简便、通用的高温熔体慢冷法无助熔剂生长FeSe超导单晶。在这样获得的晶体片的表面上的室温XRD显示β-FeSe四方晶相的单一101面。通过粉碎部分晶体块获得的块体粉末XRD显示出大部分的四方晶相和少量的FeSe六方晶相。详细的HRTEM图像以及SAED(选区电子衍射)显示了多数和少数FeSe相的丰度。输运(RT)和磁化(MT)在低于10 K时都表现出超导性。有趣的是,这些晶体的磁化强度信号是由少数磁性相的磁性占主导地位,因此在4K的等温磁化强度(MH)被认为是铁磁性(FM)的。在磁场下的输运(R-T)测量表明,超导起始温度低于12 K,在9 K时R = 0(Tc)。超导转变温度(Tc)随外加磁场的增加而降低,在7特斯拉时约为6 K,dTc/dH为0.4K/特斯拉,当Rn = 90%、50%和10%时,Hc 2值分别约为50特斯拉、30特斯拉和20特斯拉。采用热激活磁通流(TAFF)模型计算了FeSe单晶的激活能,发现激活能随磁场的增加而减小。

英文摘要:

We report flux free growth of superconducting FeSe single crystals by an easy and versatile high temperature melt and slow cooling method for first time. The room temperature XRD on the surface of the piece of such obtained crystals showed single 101 plane of Beta-FeSe tetragonal phase. The bulk powder XRD, being obtained by crushing the part of crystal chunk showed majority tetragonal and minority FeSe hexagonal crystalline phases. Detailed HRTEM images along with SAED (selected area electron diffraction) showed the abundance of both majority and minority FeSe phases. Both transport (RT) and magnetization (MT) exhibited superconductivity at below around 10K. Interestingly, the magnetization signal of these crystals is dominated by the magnetism of minority magnetic phase, and hence the isothermal magnetization (MH) at 4K was seen to be ferromagnetic (FM) like. Transport (R-T) measurements under magnetic field showed superconductivity onset at below 12K, and R = 0 (Tc) at 9K. Superconducting transition temperature (Tc) decreases with applied field to around 6K at 7Tesla, with dTc/dH of 0.4K/Tesla, giving rise to an Hc2 value of around 50 Tesla, 30 Tesla and 20 Tesla for Rn = 90, 50 and 10 percent respectively. FeSe single crystal activation energy is calculated from Thermally Activated Flux Flow (TAFF) model which is found to decreases with field.
