Reemergence of high-Tc superconductivity in the (Li1-xFe x )OHFe1-ySe under high pressure.


ABSTRACT: In order to elucidate pressure-induced second superconducting phase (SC-II) in A x Fe2-ySe2 (A?=?K, Rb, Cs, and Tl) having an intrinsic phase separation, we perform a detailed high-pressure magnetotransport study on the isoelectronic, phase-pure (Li1-xFe x )OHFe1-ySe single crystals. Here we show that its ambient-pressure superconducting phase (SC-I) with a critical temperature Tc???40?K is suppressed gradually to below 2?K and an SC-II phase emerges above Pc???5?GPa with Tc increasing progressively to above 50?K up to 12.5?GPa. Our high-precision resistivity data uncover a sharp transition of the normal state from Fermi liquid for SC-I to non-Fermi liquid for SC-II phase. In addition, the reemergence of high-Tc SC-II is found to accompany with a concurrent enhancement of electron carrier density. Without structural transition below 10?GPa, the observed SC-II with enhanced carrier density should be ascribed to an electronic origin presumably associated with pressure-induced Fermi surface reconstruction.
