Transport properties of the new Fe-based superconductor KxFe2Se2 (Tc = 33 K)

Abstract

We synthesized the new Fe-based superconductor K0.8Fe2Se2 single crystals. The obtained single crystal exhibited a sharp superconducting transition, and the onset and zero-resistivity temperature was estimated to be 33 and 31.8 K, respectively. A high upper critical field of 192 T was obtained. Anisotropy of superconductivity of K0.8Fe2Se2 was ~3.6. Both the high upper critical field and comparably low anisotropy are advantageous for the application under high magnetic field.
