Effects of Te- and Fe-doping on the superconducting properties in FeySe1−xTex thin films

High quality FeySe1−xTex epitaxial thin films have been fabricated on TiO2-buffered SrTiO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition technology. There is a significant composition deviation between the nominal target and the thin film. Te doping can affect the Se/Te ratio and Fe content in chemical composition. The superconducting transition temperature Tc is closely related to the chemical composition. Fe vacancies are beneficial for the FeySe1−xTex films to exhibit the higher Tc. A 3D phase diagram is given that the optimize range is x = 0.13–0.15 and y = 0.73–0.78 for FeySe1−xTex films. The anisotropic, effective pining energy, and critical current density for the Fe0.72Se0.94Te0.06, Fe0.76Se0.87Te0.13 and Fe0.91Se0.77Te0.23 films were studied in detail. The scanning transmission electron microscopy images display a regular atomic arrangement at the interfacial structure.

The control of the height and shape of the track in laser metal deposition by the QCW laser mode

The control of the track shape in laser metal deposition technology by the QCW laser mode has been studied. The different geometric characteristics of the tracks are shown to obtain at the same average laser power, depending on the selected laser power control mode. The difference in the temperature regimes of track formation is shown.

The applying of the short — term cross correlation in optical diagnostics of melt convection in laser metal deposition

The time dependences of the surface temperature and the surface area of the melt bath during the formation of the single track in the laser metal deposition technology were obtained using a multi-wave optical diagnostics complex. The short - term cross-correlation method was used to analyse the measured parameters of the bath surface, and relationship of the measured parameters with the processes of thermocapillary convection in the melt was shown.
