Abstract

The Fe1 + ySexTe1 – x single crystals grown by the KCl flux and Bridgman methods have been compared using the same investigation techniques. It is shown that the KCl flux growth yields high-quality Fe1 + ySexTe1 – x superconducting single crystals. The oxygen diffusion coefficient in Fe1 + ySexTe1 – x has been estimated. During the Bridgman crystal growth, a stable nonsuperconducting phase can be formed, which suggests a need for refining the phase diagram of this compound.
