Abstract

The electrical resistance behaviors under angle-dependent magnetic fields up to 16 T are investigated in superconducting FeSe0.5Te0.5 (FST) thin films grown on SrTiO3 (STO) substrates without or with a CeO2 buffer layer. It is found that the FST/CeO2/STO films have an enhanced superconducting transition temperature Tc and slightly increased superconducting anisotropy in comparison with the FST/STO films. The enhancement of Tc in the presence of the CeO2 buffer is closely related to the changes in both the out-of-plane lattice constant and Se-Fe-Se (Te-Fe-Te) bond angle.
