Transport properties of Li_x(NH₃)_yFe₂(Te_zSe_1−z)₂single crystals in the mixed state

Abstract

We study the electric transport properties of Li x (NH 3 ) y Fe 2 (Te z Se z 1-) 2 single crystals with z 0 = and 0.6 in the mixed state. Thermally-activated flux-flow, vortex glass and flux-flow Hall effect (FFHE) behaviors are observed. Experimental results show that there are rich vortex phases existing in these systems and the vortex liquid states occupy broad regions of phase diagrams. Further analysis suggests that thermal fluctuation plays an important role in the vortex phase diagrams of Li x (NH 3 ) y Fe 2 (Te z Se z 1-) 2 . Moreover, for Li x (NH 3 ) y Fe 2 Se 2 , there is no sign reversal of FFHE in the mixed state and a scaling behavior H A H xy xx 0 0 r m r m = b | ( )| ( ) with 2.0 b ~is observed. Keywords: Li x (NH 3 ) y Fe 2 (Te z Se 1−z ) 2 , single crystals, electric transport properties, mixed state, thermally-activated flux-flow, vortex glass, flux-flow Hall effect

Vortex phase diagram in 12442-type RbCa2Fe4As4F2 single crystal revealed by magneto-transport and magnetization measurements

“…To date, investigations on the vortex dynamics have been carried out in different types of IBSs, and a variety of vortex phenomena in the mixed state have been observed, e.g. vortex motion due to thermal fluctuations (thermally activated flux flow, TAFF) [12][13][14][15][16], vortex liquid to glass transition [12,[14][15][16][17][18], second magnetic peak (SMP) [19][20][21][22][23], sign reversal of Hall resistivity [24], and spontaneous vortex ground state [25], etc. Recently, by the intergrowth of 1111-type CaFeAsF and 122-type AFe 2 As 2 (A = K, Rb, Cs), several novel 12442-type ACa 2 Fe 4 As 4 F 2 (A = K, Rb, Cs) IBSs were successfully synthesized [26,27].…”

Vortex glass phase transition in two-dimensional Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O 10+δ sub-microbridge

“…state for superconductors, and also plays a dominating role in practical applications. The investigation of vortex physics is therefore carried out intensively [6][7][8][9][10]. One of the most complex problems in superconductors is the distinct vortex states in the H−T phase diagram [11][12][13].…”

Phase inversion in reusable baths (PIRBs): A new polymer membrane fabrication method as applied to EVOH

“…Membrane fabrication and related technologies are among the important subjects in the current applied science of porous, polymeric or other, materials . Poly(ethylene‐ co ‐vinyl alcohol) (EVOH) is a notable semicrystalline polymer, which finds applications in a wide variety of industries as a result of its high mechanical strength, chemical resistance, clarity, and barrier characteristics.…”
