Abstract

We report superconductivity in polycrystalline samples of the 1038-type compounds (Ca $_{1 - x}$ RE $_{x}$ ) $_{10}$ (FeAs) $_{10}$ (Pt $_{3}$ As $_{8}$ ) up to T $_{c}$ = 35 K with RE = Y, La-Nd, Sm, Gd-Lu. The critical temperatures are independent of the trivalent rare earth element used, yielding an universal T $_{c}$ ( $x$ ) phase diagram for electron doping in all these systems. The absence of superconductivity in Eu $^{2 +}$ doped samples, as well as the close resemblance of (Ca $_{1 - x}$ RE $_{x}$ ) $_{10}$ (FeAs) $_{10}$ (Pt $_{3}$ As $_{8}$ ) to the 1048 compound substantiate that the electron doping scenario in the RE-1038 and 1048 phases is completely analogous to other iron-based superconductors with simpler crystal structures.
