Emergence of magnetism and controlling factors of superconductivity in Li/Na-ammonia co-intercalated FeSe1-zTez

Abstract

The discovery of superconductivity in alkali-ammonia co-intercalated FeSe has generated intensive interest because of their highest Tc (~ 45 K) among iron-chalcogenide superconductors with bulk form. Here, we report the phase diagrams of two series of Li/Na-ammonia co-intercalated FeSe1-zTez. When superconductivity is suppressed by Te doping, the magnetic ordering states are emergent. Moreover, a novel phase Lix(NH3)yFe2-δTe2 with possible antiferromagnetism is discovered. This strongly indicates the intimate relation between superconductivity and magnetism in these materials, like in other iron-based superconductors. On the other hand, comparative structure analysis with FeSe1-zTez suggests that although there is remarkable similarity in phase diagrams for both iron-chalcogenide and iron-pnictide superconductors, the different types of anions with different charges lead to the dissimilar controlling factors in superconductivity for both classes of materials. This opens up an opportunity to tune the superconductivity in iron-chalcogenide superconductors in more ways than just one.
