Abstract In this work we report the crystallization of iron chalcogenides compounds starting from a Fe(Se0.5Te0.5) solid pellet. The synthesis process is carried out at 675 °C using a molten chloride salts mixture and permitted to obtain well defined and easily separated hexagonal and tetragonal crystals, characterized by Fe3(Se0.43Te0.57)4 and Fe1.02Se0.41Te0.59 compositions respectively. The obtained tetragonal compound exhibits superconductivity at 14 K with critical current density of ~105 A/cm2 at 5 K.
