Abstract

We report on terahertz time-domain spectroscopy on superconducting and metallic iron chalcogenides Rb0.75Fe1.6Se2−zSz. The superconducting transition is reduced from Tc=32 K (z=0) to 22 K (z=1.0), and finally suppressed (z=1.4) by isoelectronic substitution of Se with S. Dielectric constant and optical conductivity exhibit a metal-to-insulator transition associated with an orbital-selective Mott phase. This orbital-selective Mott transition appears at higher temperature Tmet with increasing sulfur content, identifying sulfur substitution as an efficient parameter to tune orbital-dependent correlation effects in iron-chalcogenide superconductors. The reduced correlations of the dxy charge carriers can account for the suppression of the superconductivity and the pseudogaplike feature between Tc and Tmet that was observed for z=0.
