Abstract
In this work, we have grown 100 nm thick pristine FeSe films by pulsed laser deposition. The films were structurally characterized with X-ray diffraction and their surface morphology checked through atomic force microscopy. Microwave measurements, performed with a dielectric loaded resonator tuned at the frequency of 8 GHz, allowed the characterization of the samples surface resistance, in view of potential applications in microwave haloscopes for dark matter search. Here, we report the comparison of the microwave properties of FeSe with Fe(Se,Te) thin films, as the temperature is swept from 4 K to 20 K. By applying a constant static magnetic field of 12 T, it was also possible to discern the magnetic field resilience of the two samples. FeSe showed a larger critical temperature drift as the field is applied, while the Fe(Se,Te) response broadens remarkably less. A preliminary analysis of vortex pinning shows margins for optimizing pinning in FeSe.
