Superconductivity above 33 K in (Ca(₁ - x)Na(x))Fe₂As₂.

We report the synthesis of (Ca₀.₃₃Na₀.₆₆)Fe₂As₂ showing a superconducting transition with T(c) above 33 K. Both dc magnetic susceptibility or specific heat measurements indicated the bulk superconductivity nature of the sample. We also have successfully grown single crystals of the (Ca₀.₃₃Na₀.₆₆)Fe₂As₂ superconductors. The single crystals exhibit sharp superconducting transitions with T(c) above 33 K. The effects of magnetic field on the superconducting transitions are studied, giving rise to high upper critical fields with H(c₂)(c)≈85 T and H(c₂)(ab)≈172 T, respectively. The anisotropy parameter was calculated to be around 2.
