Abstract

(Li1−xFexOH)FeSe single crystals have been successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal ion-exchange technique. We have carried out systematic research on the influence of the concentration of selenourea (cm) on the superconducting properties of (Li1−xFexOH)FeSe single crystals. The optimized specimens possess an onset superconducting transition temperature Tc of up to 42 K obtained at cm = 0.8 mol l−1, and the corresponding residual resistivity ratio (RRR = ρ (300 K)/ρ (Tc)) is estimated to be 11. The vortex liquid-to-glass phase transition has been discussed based on the collective pinning model. The large distance between the Hg and Hc2 lines, as well as the much narrower region of the pinned vortex-liquid phase, indicate a weak vortex-pinning ability in (Li1−xFexOH)FeSe single crystals. The big out-plane anisotropy behavior versus temperature has been explored according to the anisotropic Ginzburg–Landau theory, and the anisotropy factor Γ displays linear behavior towards temperature similar to that of SmFeAsO1−xFx superconductors.
