All those FeSCs were found to possess antifluorite-like Fe2X2 (X = As, Se) layers which were believed to be the crucial structural motif for the emergence of high-temperature superconductivity. This common feature makes it possible to design a new FeSC with the crystal chemistry [3-5]. For example, with the consideration of the intergrowth of BaFe2As2 and BaTi2As2O, the new FeSC Ba2Fe2Ti2As4O (Tc=21 K) was discovered [6]. The block-layer-design approach was also demonstrated to be effective for other class of layered materials, such as Eu3Bi2S4F4 [7], LaPb- BiS3O [8], La5Cu4As4O4C12 [9], Pb5BiFe3O10Cl2 [10], and Bi4Q4CU1.7Se2.7CI03 [11].展开更多

The quinary inor- ganic compounds crystallize in a body-centered tetragonal lattice with space group I4/mmm, which contain double Fe2As2 layers that are separated by insulating Ca2F2 layers. The electrical and magnetic measurements on the polycrys- talline samples demonstrate that the new materials undergo superconducting transitions at Tc = 30.5 and 28.2 K, respec- tively, without extrinsic doping. The correlations between Tc and structural parameters are discussed.展开更多

The polycrystalline LaRu2As2 samples were synthesized by the conventional solid state reaction method. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that LaRu2As2 crystallizes in the ThCr2Si2-type crystal structure with the space group 14/ mmm （No. 139）, and the refined lattice parameters are a = 4.182（6）A and c = 10.590（3）A. The temperature dependent resistivity measurement shows a clear superconducting transition with the onset Tc （critical tempera- ture） at 7.8 K, and zero resistivity happens at 6.8 K. The upper critical field at zero temperature μ0Hc2（0） was estimated to be 1.6 T from the resistivity measurement. DC magnetic susceptibility measurement shows a bulk superconducting Meissner transition at 7.0 K, and the isothermal magnetization measurement indicates that LaRu2As2 is a type-II superconductor.展开更多
