By partially substituting the tri-valence element La with
di-valence element Sr in LaOFeAs, we introduced holes into the system. For the first time, we successfully synthesized the
hole-doped new superconductors (LaSrx)OFeAs.
The maximum superconducting transition temperature at about 25 K was observed
at a doping level of x = 0.13. It is evidenced by Hall effect
measurements that the conduction in this type of material is dominated by hole-like charge carriers, rather than electron-like
ones. Together with the data of the electron-doped system La(O
Fx)FeAs,
a generic phase diagram is depicted and is revealed to be similar to that of the cuprate superconductors.
