| Abstract: | A series of Co-doped EuFe2-xCoxAs2 compounds were prepared in both of single crystalline and polycrystalline forms.The Co-doping effects on the crystal structure,electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility were systematically studied.Superconductivity was found in polycrystalline Co-doped samples from zero resistivity effects,with the highest onset superconducting transition temperature at 26 K in the optimum doped EuFe1.84Co0.16As2 compound.While due to the stronger competition between the superconducting order and the Eu2+ magnetic order,the zero resistivity effect is absent in the Co-doped single crystal samples. |
