Superconducting phases of (NH3)(y)MxFeSe1-z Te-z have been synthesized by the intercalation of metal atoms (M: Li, Na, Ca) into FeSe and FeSe0.5Te0.5 using a low-temperature liquid NH3 technique. The superconducting transition temperature (T-c) is 31.5 K for Na-doped FeSe, and for Li-, Na-, and Ca-doped FeSe0.5Te0.5 it is 26, 22, and 17 K, respectively. The 31.5 K superconducting is the superconducting phase in ammoniated Na-doped FeSe. The T-c is lower than that (onset T-c = 46 K) of the superconducting phase reported previously. The reason why the T-c of this phase is lower is discussed based on the structure. The pressure dependences of T-c in the (NH3)(y)Na0.5FeSe and (NH3)(y)Na0.4FeSe0.5Te0.5 samples have been measured and a negative pressure dependence is observed; i.e., a decrease in lattice constant c leads to a decrease in Tc, consistent with the behavior of (NH3)(y)Cs0.4FeSe reported previously by our group. Furthermore, the magnetic behavior of (NH3)(y)Na0.4FeSe0.5Te0.5 has been fully investigated at different applied magnetic fields (H) to determine the critical magnetic This is a successful metal intercalation into FeSe1-z Te-z (z not equal 0) and an observation of superconductivity.
