Description
Here, we have investigated the magnetotransport above the upper critical field (Hc2) in Fe1.14 Te0.7 Se0.3, Fe1.02 Te0.61 Se0.39, Fe1.05 Te0.89 Se0.11, and Fe1.06 Te0.86 S0.14 . The μ SR measurements confirm electronic phase separation in Fe1.06 Te0.86 S0.14, similar to Fe1+y Te1--x Sex . We found that superconductivity is suppressed in high magnetic fields above 60 T, allowing us to gain insight into the normal-state properties below the zero-field superconducting transition temperature (Tc). We also show that the resistivity of Fe1.14 Te0.7 Se0.3 and Fe1.02 Te0.61 Se0.39 above Hc2 is metallic as T → 0, just like the normal-state resistivity above Tc . On the other hand, the normal-state resistivity in Fe1.05 Te0.89 Se0.11 and Fe1.06 Te0.86 S0.14 is nonmetallic down to lowest temperatures, reflecting the superconductor-insulator transition due to electronic phase separation.
