Abstract

We report crystal growth at high pressure, structure determination, and magnetic and transport studies of an oxypnictide superconductor Pr4Fe2As2Te1−xO4. Its structure resembles the known 1111 phase except for the considerably larger c lattice constant and intercalated tellurium atoms and it crystallizes in a tetragonal lattice [a = 4.0165(2) Å, c = 29.8572(16) Å, and space group I4/mmm (no. 139)]. The electrical resistivity ρ(T) and magnetization measurement show a transition at Tc≈25 K. The lower (Hc1) and upper (Hc2) critical fields are 2 mT and 6.5 T, respectively. The Ginzburg-Landau parameter of κ ≈ 80 places this compound in the family of strong type-II superconductors.
