摘要
Phase-pure polycrystalline Ba0.6K0.4+xFe2As2 with 0 <= x <= 0.1 were prepared using a one-step solid-state reaction method. We found that overdoping of potassium can improve the critical current density (J(c)). High-field J(c) for samples with x=0.1 is three times higher than that for samples with x=0. Overdoping of K has minimal effect on the critical transition temperature (T-c). Less than 0.5 K degradations in T-c was measured for samples with x=0.1. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed high concentration of dislocations in samples with x=0.1, resulting in enhanced flux pining. Further analyses on magnetization loops for powder samples confirm that K overdoping can promote intragrain J(c). Our results indicate that slight excess of K in Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 superconductor is beneficial to high-field applications. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3549195]
