Superconductivity in SmFeAsO0.8F 0.2 Synthesized by High Pressure High Temperature Treatment

Article Preview

Abstract:

Superconducting SmFeAsO0.8F0.2 compound was successfully synthesized by high pressure high temperature treatment with pressure of 6 G Pa at 1400 °C for 2 hours. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the sample indicates the formation of the tetragonal ZrCuSiAs-type SmFeAsO0.8F0.2 with lattice parameters a=3.932 Å and c=8.490 Å. The electrical transport study shows that the sample has a rather high transition temperature Tc of about 52 K, and magnetic field effect on the resistance reveals a rather high upper critical field HC2 of about 65 T.
