Description

In this paper, the FeSe0.89 crystal is grown by the flux method. Structural measurements imply that hexagonal and tetragonal crystal phases coexist in our sample, which are confirmed by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). According to the electrical properties, the FeSe0.89 crystal undergoes a superconducting transition at TC = 9.91 K. The experimental results demonstrate that the FeSe0.89 crystal is a type-II superconductor with Hc1(0) of 9.5 Oe and Hc2(0) of 33.4 T. The coherent length ξ(0), Ginzberg-Landau parameter κ(0) and penetration length λ(0) are calculated to be approximately 3.14, 321 and 1007.9 nm, respectively.
