摘要
An overview of the crystal structures and physical properties of the recently discovered iron-platinum-arsenide superconductors, Ca10(PtnAs8)(Fe2鈭?em>xPtxAs2)5 ( and 4), which have a superconducting transition temperature up to 38聽K, is provided. The crystal structure consists of superconducting Fe2As2 layers alternating with platinum-arsenic layers, PtnAs8. The upper critical field , hydrostatic pressure dependence of superconducting transition temperature , and normal-state magnetic susceptibility are reported.
