Abstract

The SrFe2As2 - xPx (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) and CaFe2As2 - yPy (0.0 ≤ y ≤ 0.3) materials were prepared by a solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction measurements indicate that the single-phase samples can be successfully obtained for SrFe2As2 - xPx (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.8) and CaFe2As2 - yPy (0.0 ≤ y ≤ 0.3). Visible contraction of the lattice parameters is determined due to the relatively smaller radius of P ions in comparison with that of As. The spin-density-wave (SDW) instability associated with the tetragonal to orthorhombic phase transition is suppressed noticeably in both systems following the increase in P content. The highest superconducting transitions are observed at about 27K in SrFe2As1.3P0.7 and at about 13K in CaFe 2As1.925P0.075, respectively. Structural analysis suggests that lattice contraction could notably affect the superconductivity in these materials.
