Abstract

Recently, An electron-doped 12442-type iron-based superconductor BaTh2_2Fe4_4As4_4(N0.7_{0.7}O0.3_{0.3})2_2 has been successfully synthesized with high-temperature solid-state reactions on basis of a structural design. The inter-block-layer charge transfer between the constituent units of "BaFe2_2As2_2" and "ThFeAsN0.7_{0.7}O0.3_{0.3}" was found to be essential to stabilize the target compound. Dominant electron-type conduction and bulk superconducting transition at ~22 K were demonstrated.
