Abstract

The Fe_1 + _ySe_xTe_1 – _x single crystals grown by the KCl flux and Bridgman methods have been compared using the same investigation techniques. It is shown that the KCl flux growth yields high-quality Fe_1 + _ySe_xTe_1 – _x superconducting single crystals. The oxygen diffusion coefficient in Fe_1 + _ySe_xTe_1 – _x has been estimated. During the Bridgman crystal growth, a stable nonsuperconducting phase can be formed, which suggests a need for refining the phase diagram of this compound.
