摘要
We report on the structural phase transitions in the FeSe0.89S0.11 superconductor with T-C = 11 K observed by powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction at high pressures up to 18.5 GPa under compression and decompression modes. It was found that at ambient pressure and room temperature, FeSe0.89S0.11 has a tetragonal structure (space group NM). Under compression, in the region of 10 GPa, a phase transition from the tetragonal into the orthorhombic structure (sp. gr . Pnma) is observed, which persists up to 18.5 GPa. Our results strongly suggest that, at decompression, as the applied pressure decreases to 6 GPa and then is completely removed, most of the sample recrystallizes into the hexagonal phase of the structural type NiAs (sp. gr . P6(3)/mmc). However, the other part of the sample remains in the high pressure orthorhombic phase (sp. gr . Pnma), while the tetragonal phase (sp. gr . P4/n) is not restored. These observations illustrate a strong hysteresis of the structural properties of FeSe0.89S0.11 during a phase transition under pressure. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
