Abstract
Abstract
Novel nematic states as well as remarkable superconducting properties were reported in iron-based superconductors. We synthesized high-quality single crystals of (Ba1-x
Rb
x
)Fe2As2 close to the optimal composition of x ≈ 0.4, and have characterized normal state and superconducting properties for pristine and proton irradiated samples. The highest Tc
was found to be ∼36.6 K for pristine samples. A maximum critical current density of 12 MA/cm2 was achieved in a proton irradiated sample, which is comparable to that in irradiated (Ba0.6K0.4) Fe2As2. Twin boundaries were observed optically in both non-doped and under-doped samples. We also attempted local magnetic field measurements induced by transport current in a sample with twin boundaries for future exploration of nematic states in different regions of doping.
