Title: Enhanced critical current in superconducting FeSe_0.5 Te _0.5 films at all magnetic field orientations by scalable gold ion irradiation

Abstract

The loss-less electrical current-carrying capability of type II superconductors, measured by the critical current density J_c, can be increased by engineering desirable defects in superconductors to pin the magnetic vortices. Here, we demonstrate that such desirable defects can be created in superconducting FeSe_0.5Te_0.5 films by 6 MeV Au-ions irradiations that produce cluster-like defects with sizes of 10–15 nm over the entire film. The pristine FeSe_0.5Te_0.5 film exhibits a low anisotropy in the angular dependence of J_c. A clear improvement in the J_c is observed upon Au-ion irradiation for all field orientations at 4.2 K. Furthermore, a nearly 70% increase in J_c is observed at a magnetic field of 9 T applied parallel to the crystallographic c-axis at 10 K with little reduction of the superconducting transition temperature T_c. Our studies show that a dose of 1×10¹² Au cm^–2 irradiation at a few MeV is sufficient in order to provide a strong isotropic pinning defect landscape in iron-based superconducting films.

Doubling the critical current density in superconducting FeSe_0.5Te_0.5 thin films by low temperature oxygen annealing

Journal Article Zhang, Cheng ; Si, Weidong ; Li, Qiang - Applied Physics Letters

Iron chalcogenide superconducting thin films and coated conductors are attractive for potential high field applications at liquid helium temperature for their high critical current densities J_c, low anisotropies, and relatively strong grain couplings. Embedding flux pinning defects is a general approach to increase the in-field performance of superconductors. However, many effective pinning defects can adversely affect the zero field or self-field J_c, particularly in cuprate high temperature superconductors. Here, we report the doubling of the self-field J_c in FeSe_0.5Te_0.5 films by low temperature oxygen annealing, reaching ~3 MA/cm². In-field performance is also dramatically enhanced. In conclusion, our results demonstrate thatmore »« less

Two-Fold Reduction of J_c Anisotropy in FeSe_0.5Te_0.5 Films Using Low-Energy Proton Irradiation

Journal Article Ozaki, Toshinori ; Li, Qiang ; Jaroszynski, Jan - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity

High in-field performance and low anisotropy of critical current density J_c are important for superconducting wires/tapes in rotating machine and magnet applications. Here, we report measurements of angular dependence of critical current density J_c in pro-ton irradiated FeSe_0.5Te_0.5 (FST) films at magnetic field up to 35 T. Here, we observed two-fold reduction in the J_c anisotropy of FST films at 4.2 K and 15 Tesla magnetic field by irradiation with low-energy (190 keV) proton. In light of recent demonstration of roll-to-roll irradiation process successfully incorporated in the standard 2G HTS long length production wire, low-energy proton irradiation can be amore »« less

Iron-chalcogenide FeSe(0.5)Te(0.5) Coated Superconducting Tapes for High Field Applications

Journal Article Si, W ; Johnson, P ; Zhou, J ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

The high upper critical field characteristic of the recently discovered iron-based superconducting chalcogenides opens the possibility of developing a new type of non-oxide high-field superconducting wires. In this work, we utilize a buffered metal template on which we grow a textured FeSe{sub 0.5}Te{sub 0.5} layer, an approach developed originally for high temperature superconducting coated conductors. These tapes carry high critical current densities (> 1 x 10{sup 4} A/cm{sup 2}) at about 4.2 K under magnetic field as high as 25 T, which are nearly isotropic to the field direction. This demonstrates a very promising future for iron chalcogenides for highmore »« less

A route for a strong increase of critical current in nanostrained iron-based superconductors

Journal Article Ozaki, Toshinori ; Li, Qiang ; Wu, Lijun ; ... - Nature Communications

The critical temperature T_c and the critical current density J_c determine the limits to large-scale superconductor applications. Superconductivity emerges at T_c. The practical current-carrying capability, measured by J_c, is the ability of defects in superconductors to pin the magnetic vortices, and that may reduce T_c. Simultaneous increase of T_c and J_c in superconductors is desirable but very difficult to realize. Here we demonstrate a route to raise both T_c and J_c together in iron-based superconductors. By using low-energy proton irradiation, we create cascade defects in FeSe_0.5Te_0.5 films. Tc is enhanced due to the nanoscale compressive strain and proximity effect, whereasmore »« less

Imaging atomic-scale effects of high-energy ion irradiation on superconductivity and vortex pinning in Fe(Se,Te)

Journal Article Massee, F. ; Sprau, P. O. ; Wang, Y. -L. ; ... - Science Advances

Maximizing the sustainable supercurrent density, J_C, is crucial to high-current applications of superconductivity, and to achieve this, preventing dissipative motion of quantized vortices is key. Irradiation of superconductors with highenergy heavy ions can be used to create nanoscale defects that act as deep pinning potentials for vortices. This approach holds unique promise for high-current applications of iron-based superconductors because JC amplification persists to much higher radiation doses than in cuprate superconductors without significantly altering the superconducting critical temperature. However, for these compounds, virtually nothing is known about the atomic-scale interplay of the crystal damage from the high-energy ions, the superconducting order parameter, and the vortex pinning processes. We visualize the atomic-scale effects of irradiating FeSe_xTe_{1more » $$-$$x} with 249-MeV Au ions and find two distinct effects: compact nanometer-sized regions of crystal disruption or “columnar defects,” plus a higher density of single atomic site “point” defects probably from secondary scattering. We directly show that the superconducting order is virtually annihilated within the former but suppressed by the latter. Simultaneous atomically resolved images of the columnar crystal defects, the superconductivity, and the vortex configurations then reveal how amixed pinning landscape is created, with the strongest pinning occurring at metallic core columnar defects and secondary pinning at clusters of point-like defects, followed by collective pinning at higher fields.« less
