Doping effects of transition metals on the superconductivity of (Li,Fe)OHFeSe films

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/abd2ab

Abstract The doping effects of transition metals (TMs = Mn, Co, Ni, and Cu) on the superconducting critical parameters are investigated in the films of iron selenide (Li,Fe)OHFeSe. The samples are grown via a matrix-assisted hydrothermal epitaxy method. Among the TMs, the elements of Mn and Co adjacent to Fe are observed to be incorporated into the crystal lattice more easily. It is suggested that the doped TMs mainly occupy the iron sites of the intercalated (Li,Fe)OH layers rather than those of the superconducting FeSe layers. We find that the critical current density J_c can be enhanced much more strongly by the Mn dopant than the other TMs, while the critical temperature T_c is weakly affected by the TM doping.

Keywords: iron-based superconductivity transition metals doping critical current density
