Abstract

We have synthesized ten iron oxyarsenides, KLn2Fe4As4O2 (Ln=Gd,Tb,Dy,and Ho) and CsLn2Fe4As4O2 (Ln=Nd,Sm,Gd,Tb,Dy,and Ho), with the aid of the lattice-match approach. The resultant compounds possess hole-doped conducting double FeAs layers [AFe4As4]2− that are separated by the insulating [Ln2O2]2+ slabs. Measurements of electrical resistivity and dc magnetic susceptibility demonstrate bulk superconductivity at Tc=33–37 K. We find that Tc correlates with the axial ratio c/a for all 12442-type superconductors discovered. Also, Tc tends to increase with the lattice mismatch, implying that lattice instability plays a role in the enhancement of superconductivity.
