Superconducting fluctuations in FeSe${}_{0.5}$Te${}_{0.5}$ thin films probed via microwave spectroscopy

Abstract

We investigated the microwave conductivity spectrum of FeSe${}_{0.5}$Te${}_{0.5}$ epitaxial films on CaF${}_2$ in the vicinity of the superconducting transition. We observed the critical behavior of the superconducting fluctuations in these films with a dimensional crossover from two-dimensional to three-dimensional as the film thickness increased. From the temperature dependence of the scaling parameters we conclude that the universality class of the superconducting transition in FeSe${}_{0.5}$Te${}_{0.5}$ is that of the 3D-XY model. The lower limit of the onset temperature of the superconducting fluctuations, Tonset, determined by our measurements was 1.1 Tc, suggesting that the superconducting fluctuations of FeSe${}_{0.5}$Te${}_{0.5}$ are at least as large as those of optimally- and over-doped cuprates.
