Abstract
We report the successful synthesis of single crystals with ranging from 0 to 1 via a hydrothermal method. A complete phase diagram of has been obtained based on resistivity and magnetization measurements. The nematicity is suppressed with increasing , and a small superconducting dome appears within the nematic phase. Outside the nematic phase, the superconductivity is continuously suppressed and reaches a minimum at = 0.45; beyond this point, slowly increases until = 1. Intriguingly, an anomalous resistivity upturn with a characteristic temperature in the intermediate region of is observed. shows a domelike behavior with a maximum value at = 0.45, which is opposite the evolution of , indicating competition between and superconductivity. The origin of is discussed in detail. Furthermore, the normal state resistivity evolves from non-Fermi-liquid to Fermi-liquid behavior with S doping at low temperatures, accompanied by a reduction in electronic correlations. Our study addresses the lack of single crystals in the high-S doping region and provides a complete phase diagram, which will promote the study of relations among nematicity, superconductivity, and magnetism.
