Abstract

Polycrystalline samples of Ba1-xSrxFe 2As2(0≤x≤1) and Ba1-xSr xFe1.8Co0.2As2 (0≤x≤1) have been synthesized by a solid state reaction method. Structural analysis by means of x-ray diffraction shows that the lattice parameters and unit cell volume decrease monotonically with the increase of x for Ba1-xSr xFe2As2. The measurements of transport properties demonstrate that the average size of the Ba(Sr)-site cations could evidently influence the spin density wave (SDW) behavior in Ba 1-xSrxFe2As2 and superconductivity in Ba1-xSrxFe1.8Co0.2As2 as well. The critical temperature for SDW (TSDW) increases with the Sr substitution for Ba in Ba1-xSrxFe2As 2 and, on the other hand, the superconducting Tc decreases with the increase of Sr content in Ba1-xSrxFe 1.8Co0.2As2. The inhomogeneous distributions of Ba/Sr ions and structural distortions in Ba0.5Sr 0.5Fe2As2 have been investigated by transmission-electron microscopy (TEM) observations.
