Abstract

Fe(Se_1-xTe_x) thin films on (1 0 0) SrTiO₃ were fabricated by a pulsed laser deposition method, and their crystal orientation, compositional shifts and superconducting properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope combined with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, etc. Compositional shift is one of the major problems during the fabrication of Fe(Se_1-xTe _x) films due to its containing high volatile elements such as Se and Te. The compositional shifts were found dependent on the Ar background gas pressure (P_Ar), which was suppressed by the increase of P _Ar. In addition, it was revealed that the temperature window for the crystallization of the films was shifted to higher temperature region and wider temperature range with the increase of P_Ar.
