摘要
We have prepared high-quality polycrystalline FeTe0.5Se0.5 at temperature as low as 550 degrees C. The transport critical current density evaluated from the current-voltage characteristics is over 700 A cm(-2) at 4.2 K under zero field, which is several times larger than that for FeTe0.5Se0.5 superconducting wires. The critical current density estimated from magneto-optical images of flux penetration is also similar to this value. The upper critical field of the polycrystalline FeTe0.5Se0.5 at T = 0 K estimated using Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg theory is 585 kOe, which is comparable to that of single crystals. This study gives some insight into how to improve the performance of FeTe0.5Se0.5 superconducting wires.
