Scotch tape induced strains for structural variation of FeTe0.5Se0.5 and Fe1.05Te single crystals
We have recently reported that the superconducting transition temperature of FeTe0.5Se0.5 flakes attached onto commercial Scotch tape can be enhanced by about 1-2 K due to a thermal-mismatch induced compressive strain. In this work, we further investigated the Scotch tape effect on structural variat...

| description | We have recently reported that the superconducting transition temperature of FeTe0.5Se0.5 flakes attached onto commercial Scotch tape can be enhanced by about 1-2 K due to a thermal-mismatch induced compressive strain. In this work, we further investigated the Scotch tape effect on structural variation of FeTe0.5Se0.5 and Fe1.05Te flakes by X-ray diffraction measurements. We show that for FeTe0.5Se0.5, the lattice constant c of taped flakes is elongated by about 0.5% at 15 K as compared with bulk crystal. Upon warming from 15 K, the lattice constant c of the taped flakes first levels off then displays negative thermal expansion followed by monotonic increase at temperatures above 100 K. For antiferromagnetic Fe1.05Te, the structural transition around 70 K is remarkably broadened by about 2 K. The present results demonstrate that the Scotch tape is a simple and effective tool to probe structure sensitive physical properties of layered materials. |
