摘 要:The recently discovered metal-intercalated iron selenide superconductors A2Fe4Se5 (A=K, Cs, T1- K, Rb, T1-Rb) (245) compounds, with Tc ~30K, have attracted much interest A high transition- temperature (TN ≈ 470-560K) and large magnetic moment (3.3μB/Fe) block antiferromagnetic (AFM) order exists in the superconducting samples. Mag- netic order-parameter experiences an anomaly when Tc is approached. The superconductors crystal- lize with a highly ordered √5 × √5 superstructure, in which the Fel site of the I4/m structure is only a few percents occupied and the Fe2 site is fully occupied. The non-superconducting samples at low-T also crystallize in the I4/m structure, while both Fe sites are fractionally occupied, since the numbers of the Fe vacancies in the samples and the vacant sites in the √5 × √5 pattern are mismatched. The partially ordered √5× √5 vacancy order becomes one of three competing phases for temperature below room temperature up to ~ 500K, namely, these sam- ples are phase-separated and in the miscibility gap 1lacier the n,mhi^nt condition.
