Abstract

The electronic phase diagram of PrFeAsO1−xFx (0≤x≤0.225) has been determined using synchrotron x-ray powder-diffraction, magnetization, and resistivity measurements. The structural transition temperature is suppressed from 154 to ≈120 K and the magnetic phase transitions of both iron and praseodymium ions are completely suppressed by x≈0.08 fluorine doping, coinciding with the emergence of superconductivity. The optimal doping is x≈0.15 when TC=47 K while the maximum solubility of fluorine in PrFeAsO1−xFx is reached around x=0.22. The structural, magnetic, and superconducting phase diagram is presented.
