Abstract
We study an iron isotope effect of FeSe1-xTex (x=0.65) polycrystalline samples with three types of iron isotopes (54Fe, natural Fe, and 57Fe) which were synthesized carefully in order to rule out differences in the Te content x between them. Our estimate of an isotope coefficient αFe defined by -dlnTc/dlnM, where Tc and M are the superconducting transition temperature and the iron isotope mass, is -0.54(1). Measurements of powder x-ray diffraction (XRD) show no significant difference in lattice parameters between the samples. These indicate that compositionally wellcontrolled FeSe1-xTex may possess inverse iron isotope coefficients.
