The effect of alloying the two perovskite-type iron-based superconductors (Ca4Al2O6)(Fe2As2) and (Ca4Al2O6)(Fe2P2) was examined. While the two stoichiometric compounds possess relatively highTc’s of 28 and 17 K, respectively, their solid solutions of the form (Ca4Al2O6)(Fe2(As1–xPx)2) do not show superconductivity over a wide range fromx= 0.50 to 0.95. The resultant phase diagram is thus completely different from those of other typical iron-based superconductors such as BaFe2(As,P)2and LaFe(As,P)O, in which superconductivity shows up when P is substituted for As in the non-superconducting “parent” compounds. Notably, the solid solutions in the non-superconducting range exhibit resistivity anomalies at temperatures of 50–100 K. The behavior is reminiscent of the resistivity kink commonly observed in various non-superconducting parent compounds that signals the onset of antiferromagnetic/orthorhombic long-range order. The similarity suggests that the suppression of the superconductivity in the present case also has a magnetic and/or structural origin.
