Superconductivity, magnetism, and stoichiometry of single crystals of Fe[subscript 1+y](Te[subscript 1−x]S[subscript x])[subscript z]
We report synthesis of high-quality Fe{sub 1+y}(Te{sub 1-x}S{sub x}){sub z} single crystals and a comprehensive study of structural, magnetic, and transport properties. We demonstrate the very small upper critical field anisotropy of Fe{sub 1+y}(Te{sub 1-x}S{sub x}){sub z}, {gamma}{sub H} = H{sub c2}{sup {parallel}c}/H{sub c2}{sup {perpendicular}c}. The value of {gamma}{sub H} reaches 1.05 at T = 0.65 T{sub c} for Fe{sub 1.12}Te{sub 0.83}S{sub 0.11} while still maintaining large values of upper critical field. There is high sensitivity to material stoichiometry which includes vacancies on the Te(S) site. Our results reveal competition and coexistence of magnetic order and percolative superconductivity for x {ge} 0.03 while zero resistivity is achieved for x {ge} 0.1.
