Superconductivity in Ca10(Ir4As8)(Fe2As2)5 with Square-Planar Coordination of Iridium
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the unprecedented square-planar coordination of iridium in the iron iridium arsenide Ca(10)(Ir(4)As(8))(Fe(2)As(2))5. This material experiences superconductivity at 16 K. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and first-principles band calculation suggest Ir(II) oxidation state, which yields electrically conductive Ir(4)As(8) layers. Such metallic spacer layers are thought to enhance the interlayer coupling of Fe(2)As(2), in which superconductivity emerges, thus offering a way to control the superconducting transition temperature.

Interrogating the superconductor Ca10(Pt4As8)(Fe2−xPtxAs2)5 Layer-by-layer
Ever since the discovery of high-Tc superconductivity in layered cuprates, the roles that individual layers play have been debated, due to difficulty in layer-by-layer characterization. While there is similar challenge in many Fe-based layered superconductors, the newly-discovered Ca10(Pt4As8)(Fe2As2)5 provides opportunities to explore superconductivity layer by layer, because it contains both ...
متن کاملCompetition of magnetism and superconductivity in underdoped (Ba1−xKx)Fe2As2
Polycrystalline samples of underdoped (Ba1−xKx)Fe2As2 (x ≤ 0.4) were synthesized and studied by x-ray powder diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and Fe-Mössbauer-spectroscopy. The structural phase transition from tetragonal to orthorhombic lattice symmetry shifts towards lower temperatures, becomes less pronounced at x = 0.1-0.2 and is no longer present at x = 0.3. Bulk supercon...

The title structure,[IrCl(C(8)H(12))(C(14)H(10)F(5)P)], reveals that (C(2)F(5))PPh(2) (penta-fluoro-ethyl-diphenyl-phosphane or pfepp) disrupts the iridium dimer [(cod)IrCl](2) (cod = cyclo-octa-1,5-diene) by rupturing the bridging chloride ligands and binding in the open coordination site to form (cod)Ir(pfepp)Cl with the Ir(I) atom in a distorted square-planar coordination environment. The st...

The title complex, [Ir(2)(μ-Cl)(2)(C(8)H(14))(4)], has a dinuclear structure with bridging Cl atoms, a hinge angle of 179.44 (7)° between the two IrCl(2) planes, and an Ir⋯Ir distance of 3.7254 (3) Å. Regarding the coordinating C=C bonds as occupying a single coordination site each, the geometry around each Ir atom is square-planar.
متن کاملSuperconductivity at 38 K in the iron arsenide (Ba1-xKx)Fe2As2.
The ternary iron arsenide BaFe2As2 becomes superconducting by hole doping, which was achieved by partial substitution of the barium site with potassium. We have discovered bulk superconductivity at T{c}=38 K in (Ba1-xKx)Fe2As2 with x approximately 0.4. The parent compound BaFe2As2 crystallizes in the tetragonal ThCr2Si2-type structure, which consists of (FeAs);{delta-} iron arsenide layers sepa...
