The morphological and structural characterization of FeTe0.5Se0.5 samples were carried out by X-rays Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscope and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy. The electrical, magnetic and thermal transport properties were investigated up to 8 T by using physical property measurement system. The results reveal that the sensitivity of electrical and magnetic properties strongly depends on the heat treatment cycles. The upper critical field, H-c2(0), was determined with the magnetic field parallel to the sample surface. It gives a maximum value of 36.3 T. The lower critical field, H-c1(T), was obtained as 210, 140 and 70 Oe at 5, 8 and 12 K, respectively. The coherence length, xi, at the zero field, was calculated to be 1.94 nm and suggested a transparent intergrain boundaries peculiarity. The mu H-0(c2)(0)/k(B)T(c) rate shows higher value (3.36 T/K) than the Pauli limit (1.84 T/K) which suggests unconventional nature of superconductivity for the polycrystalline FeTe0.5Se0.5 superconducting samples.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess[No Keywords]Solid state synthesis and characterization of bulk FeTe0.5Se0.5 superconductorsConference Object66710.1088/1742-6596/667/1/0120062-s2.0-84960192333N/AWOS:000368085300006N/A
