摘要
We report molecular beam epitaxy growth of FeSe and Sr1-xKxFe2As2. In FeSe growth, the compositional window to obtain the superconducting phase (beta-FeSe) is very limited. The use of Al2O3-R substrates instead lattice-matched LaAlO3 substrates slightly expands the compositional window, and we observed a substantial drop of resistivity but with no zero resistivity attained. In Sr1-xKxFe2As2 growth, the largest problem is the volatility of K. Films grown at substrate temperatures higher than 300 degrees C contain no K. Superconducting films of Sr1-xKxFe2As2 can be obtained at the growth temperature of 250 degrees C with very low As flux. The best film has T-c(on) = 30.3K and T-c(end) = 22.9K. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
