Abstract

New iron-based intercalation superconductors A_x(C ₂H₈N₂)_yFe_2- _zSe₂ (A = Li, Na) with T_c = 45 K have successfully been synthesized via intercalation of dissolved alkaline metal in ethylenediamine. The c-axis lengths of A_x(C₂H ₈N₂)_yFe_2-zSe₂ (A = Li, Na) are 20.74(7) Å and 21.9(1) Å, respectively, and are about 50% larger than that of K_xFe₂Se₂, indicating that not only alkaline metal but also ethylenediamine is intercalated between the Se-Se layers of FeSe. It seems that the high-T_c of A_x(C₂H₈N₂)_yFe _2-zSe₂ (A = Li, Na) is caused by the possible two-dimensional electronic structure due to the large c-axis length. Through the post-annealing in an evacuated glass tube, it has been found that T_c decreases with increasing post-annealing temperature and that deintercalation of EDA from the as-intercalated sample takes place at low temperatures below 250 °C.
