(color online) (a) Lattice parameter c and superconducting transition temperature Tc as functions of Mn doping level z. The dashed curves are as a guide to the eye. (b) The positive correlation between the SC transition temperature Tc and lattice parameter c among the Mn-doped and Mn-free (Li, Fe)OHFeSe samples, regardless of the Mn doping level z.
