[18p-B403-8] Superconducting Properties and Microstructure of Au-ion irradiated FeSe0.5Te0.5 Films
Keywords:iron-based supercondcutor, thin film
In order to elucidate the relationship between heavy ion irradiation-induced defect structure and the two critical parameters - Tc and Jc, Au-ions with 6 MeV to a dose of 1´1012 Au cm–2 have been irradiated into iron-chalcogenide FeSe0.5Te0.5 thin films. A nearly 70 % increase in Jc is observed under 9 T//c at 10 K with little reduction of Tc. Our results show that Au-ion irradiation at a few MeV is sufficient in order to provide a strong pinning defect landscape in iron-chalcogenide superconducting films.
