Abstract
We report on the transport properties of FeSe\(_{1-x}\)S\(_{x}\) single crystals for x = 0.04, 0.09, and 0.19. These compounds show a consequent increase in the superconducting transition temperature to about 10.5 K for x = 0.04 and 0.09 followed by a decrease to 8.5 K for x = 0.19, completing the superconducting dome of the FeSe\(_{1-x}\)S\(_{x}\) series phase diagram. The sample with the highest substitution level x = 0.19 shows no transition to an orthorhombic phase at low temperatures. Therefore, the suppression of the low temperature structural transition in FeSe\(_{1-x}\)S\(_{x}\) coincides with the start of the steep decrease in the superconducting transition temperature.
