Abstract

We have carried out a systematic study of the PbO-type compound FeSe₁-ₗTeₓ (x = 0~1), where Te substitution effect on superconductivity is investigated. It is found that superconducting transition temperature reaches a maximum of Tc=15. 2K at about 50% Te substitution. The pressure-enhanced Tc of FeSe0. 5Te0. 5 is more than 10 times larger than that of FeSe. Interestingly, FeTe is no longer superconducting. A low temperature structural distortion changes FeTe from triclinic symmetry to orthorhombic symmetry. We believe that this structural change breaks the magnetic symmetry and suppresses superconductivity in FeTe.
