Abstrakt: Superconducting properties were studied on high quality superconductors (Tc = 39 K) and (Tc = 44 K) prepared by intercalating Ba/Sr atoms into tetragonal β-FeSe by liquid ammonia. The elongated c-axis and almost unchanged a-axis of , compared with β-FeSe, suggests an unchanged intra--layer structure and the Tc enhancement is due to a 3D to 2D-like Fermi surface transformation. The superconducting coherent lengths ξ(0), the Ginzburg–Landau parameters κ and penetration depths λ(0) obtained from the extrapolated lower and upper critical fields Bc1(0) and Bc2(0) indicate that both compounds are typical type-II superconductors. The temperature dependence of 1/(T) of deduced from the low-field magnetic susceptibility shows a two-gap s-wave behavior with superconducting gaps of = 6.47 meV and = 1.06 meV.
