Abstract
We report a high-pressure study on the heavily electron doped Lix(NH3)yFe2Se2 single crystal by using the cubic anvil cell apparatus. The superconducting transition temperature Tc = 44 K at ambient pressure is first suppressed to below 20 K upon increasing pressure to Pc = 2 GPa, above which the pressure dependence of Tc(P) reverses and Tc increases steadily to ca. 55 K at 11 GPa. These results thus evidenced a pressure-induced second high-Tc superconducting (SC-II) phase in Lix(NH3)yFe2Se2 with the highest Tcmax = 55K among the FeSe-based bulk materials. Hall data confirm that in the emergent SC-II phase the dominant electron-type carrier density undergoes a fourfold enhancement and tracks the same trend as Tc(P). Interesting, we find a nearly parallel scaling behavior between Tc and the inverse Hall coefficient for the SC-II phases of both Lix(NH3)yFe2Se2 and (Li,Fe)OHFeSe. The present work demonstrates that high pressure offers a distinctive means to further raising the maximum Tc of heavily electron doped FeSe-based materials by increasing the effective charge carrier concentration via a plausible Fermi surface reconstruction at Pc.
