Abstract

We report the successful substitution of cobalt, nickel, and copper for iron in the 1038 phase parent compound Ca $_{10}$ (FeAs) $_{10}$ (Pt $_{3}$ As $_{8}$ ) yielding Ca $_{10}$ (Fe $_{1 - x}$ Co $_{x}$ As) $_{10}$ (Pt $_{3}$ As $_{8}$ ), Ca $_{10}$ (Fe $_{1 - x}$ Ni $_{x}$ As) $_{10}$ (Pt $_{3}$ As $_{8}$ ), and Ca $_{10}$ (Fe $_{1 - x}$ Cu $_{x}$ As) $_{10}$ (Pt $_{3}$ As $_{8}$ ), respectively. Superconductivity is induced in Co and Ni doped compounds reaching critical temperatures up to 15 K, similar to known Pt substituted Ca $_{10}$ (Fe $_{1 - x}$ Pt $_{x}$ As) $_{10}$ (Pt $_{3}$ As $_{8}$ ), whereas no superconductivity was detected in Ca $_{10}$ (Fe $_{1 - x}$ Cu $_{x}$ As) $_{10}$ (Pt $_{3}$ As $_{8}$ ). The obtained Tc(x) phase diagrams are very similar to those of other iron arsenide superconductors indicating rather universal behavior despite the more complex structures of the 1038-type compounds, where the physics is primarily determined by the FeAs layer.
