In this study, polycrystalline samples with nominal composition FeTe1−xSe x (x=0.1−0.5) were synthesized by solid-state reaction method at ambient pressure. In order to minimize oxidation, argon gas flow was maintained throughout the heat treatment. The phase formation of FeTe1−xSe x samples was che...
