Abstract

The Ca 1-xSr xFe 2As 2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) and Ca 0.5Sr 0.5 Fe 2-yCo yAs 2 (0 ≤ y ≤ 0.6) materials were prepared by a solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the lattice parameters of Ca 1-xSr xFe 2As 2 decrease continuously with increasing Ca content. Resistivity measurements reveal that the Ca/Sr ratio has a visible influence on the resistivity anomaly associated with the spin-density-wave (SDW) instability. Experimental measurements on Ca 0.5Sr 0.5Fe 2-yCo yAs 2 show clear superconducting transitions for Co in range of 0.26 ≤ y ≤ 0.43; the highest critical transition temperature is found to be at about 17 K. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations on the superconducting Ca 0.5Sr 0.5Fe 2-yCo yAs 2 samples reveal visible inhomogeneous distribution of Sr and Ca elements, which could result in structural distortions and broaden superconducting transitions as observed in our experiments.
