摘要:

Fe $_{1+y}$ Te $_{1-x}$ Se $_x$结构简单,仅由FeTe/Se层组成,这有利于探讨超导机制。近年来,人们发现了拓扑表面超导性和Majorana费米子,这使得Fe $_{1+y}$ Te $_{1-x}$ Se $_x$成为第一个高温拓扑超导体。由于Fe $_{1+y}$ Te $_{1-x}$ Se $_x$的大尺寸单晶可以容易地生长,因此已经进行了许多研究。然而,很大一部分的报道结果是有争议的,包括电阻率,磁化率,霍尔效应,间隙结构,相图等。这些争议被认为是来自样品依赖的Fe非化学计量,这源于部分占领的第二个Fe网站(过量Fe)在Te/Se层。价态接近Fe $^+$的过量Fe将向体系中提供电子掺杂。同时,过量的Fe也是强磁性的,其将充当剥落破坏者并且还使载流子局部化。去除过量的Fe对于探索Fe $_{1+y}$ Te $_{1-x}$ Se $_x$化合物的本征性质和超导电性机制至关重要。本文综述了Fe $_{1+y}$ Te $_{1-x}$ Se $_x$中过量Fe的去除方法。此外,我们讨论了退火机制的基础上的结构,成分和形貌的演变与退火。此外,我们还综述了退火对正常态和超导性质的影响,包括磁性、输运性质、能带结构、$T_{\rm{c}}$、相图、上临界场、各向异性、临界电流密度、带隙结构和超导配对。本文介绍了无过量Fe的最佳制备方法,以及Fe $_{1+y}$ Te $_{1-x}$ Se $_x$的本征性质。

英文摘要:

Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_x$ is unique in their structural simplicity, consisting of only FeTe/Se layers, which is favorable for probing the mechanism of superconductivity. Recently, a topological surface superconductivity as well as the Majorana Fermions has been observed, which makes Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_x$ the first high temperature topological superconductor. Since large size single crystal of Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_x$ can be easily grown, many researches have been performed. However, a large part of the reported results are under controversy, including the resistivity, susceptibility, Hall effect, gap structure, phase diagram, etc. These controversies are believed to come from the sample-dependent Fe nonstoichiometries, which originate from the partial occupation of the second Fe site (excess Fe) in the Te/Se layer. The excess Fe with valence near Fe$^+$ will provide electron doping into the system. Meanwhile, the excess Fe is also strongly magnetic, which will act as a paring breaker and also localize the charge carriers. Removing the excess Fe is essential to probe the intrinsic properties and mechanism of superconductivity of Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_x$ compounds. In this topical review, we propose the effective approaches to remove excess Fe in Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_x$. Furthermore, we discuss the mechanism of annealing based on the evolutions of structure, composition, and morphology with annealing. Moreover, we also review the annealing effects on the normal state and superconducting properties, including the magnetism, transport properties, band structure, $T_{\rm{c}}$, phase diagram, upper critical field, anisotropy, critical current density, gap structure, and superconducting pairing. This review presents not only the optimal way to prepare crystals without excess Fe, but also the intrinsic properties of Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_x$ without the influence of excess Fe.
