Abstract
We reported a detailed study of Fe1+yTe0.6Se0.4 single crystals annealed in the atmosphere of chalcogens (O2, S, Se, Te). After annealing with appropriate amount of chalcogens, Fe1+yTe0.6Se0.4 single crystals show Tc higher than 14K with a sharp transition width ∼1K. Critical current density Jc for the annealed crystals reach a very high value ∼2–4×105A/cm2 under zero field, and is also robust under applied field at low temperatures. Magneto-optical imaging reveal that the Jc is homogeneously distributed in the annealed crystals and isotropic in the ab-plane. Our results show that annealing in the atmosphere of chalcogens can successfully induce bulk superconductivity in Fe1+yTe0.6Se0.4.
