Abstract

Polycrystalline and single crystalline samples of CaFe2As 2 were prepared by using different fabrication routes. These samples show evident differences in both phase transition temperatures and transport properties depending on fabrication conditions. TEM observations reveal a rich variety of structural phenomena in these materials, such as a tweed-like pattern in self-flux samples, a structural modulation along the 〈1 1 0〉tetra direction in the polycrystalline sample, and complex dislocation networks in the Sn-flux samples. Careful analysis shows that the twinning domains arising from the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic phase transition belong to the δ-type.
