Superconductivity 2022-07-15 v1

Abstract

Molecular beam epitaxy of K-doped Ba122 (Ba1x_{1-x}Kx_xFe2_\text{2}As2_\text{2}) superconductor was realized on a MgO substrate. Microstructural observation revealed that the undoped Ba122 served as a perfect buffer layer for epitaxial growth of the K-doped Ba122. The film exhibited a high critical temperature of 39.8 K and a high critical current density of 3.9 MA/cm2^\text{2} at 4 K. The successful growth of epitaxial thin film will enable artificial single grain boundary on oxide bicrystal substrates and reveal the grain boundary transport nature of K-doped Ba122.
