Investigation of Transport Properties for FeSe₁₋<i>_x</i>Te<i>_x</i> Thin Films under Magnetic Fields

Abstract

We investigated the transport properties under magnetic fields of up to 9 T for FeSe$_{1-x}$Te$_x$ thin films on CaF$_2$. Measurements of the temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity revealed that for $x = 0.2 - 0.4$, where $T_{\rm c}$ is the highest, the width of the superconducting transition increased with increasing magnetic field, while the width was almost the same with increasing magnetic field for $x = 0 - 0.1$. In addition, the temperature dependence of the Hall coefficient drastically changed between $x = 0.1$ and $0.2$ at low temperatures. These results indicate that clear differences in the nature of the superconductivity and electronic structure exist between $x=0-0.1$ and $x \ge 0.2$.
