Atomically imaged crystal structure and normal-state properties of superconducting
Abstract
Superconducting Ca10Pt4As8(Fe2As2)5 is rare because optimal superconducting transition temperature is achieved without chemical doping or pressure. Furthermore, the unclear crystal structure limits our ability to understand the structure-property relationship. Using atomically resolved scanning transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction, we directly determine the structure of this superconductor: it forms a monoclinic structure (space group P21/n) with lattice parameters a = b = 8.76Å, c = 20.18Å, and γ = 90.5°. Compared with previously reported structures derived from diffraction experiments, the c-lattice constant is doubled due to alternating stacking of Pt4As8 layers, which induces a high density of stacking faults. With the establishment of the crystal structure, stacking faults, and chemical composition, the distinctive normal-state electrical and thermal transport properties of our superconducting Ca10Pt4As8((Fe1–xPtx)2As2)5 (x ~ 0.05) single crystals can be explained.
