Iron-Selenide Phenomenology in Superconducting Pr$_{4}$Fe$_{2}$As$_2$Te$_{0.88}$O$_4$

The unified modeling of iron-based high-temperature superconductors has been complicated by different phenomenologies in the iron-pnictides and iron-chalcogenides. Here we use x-ray diffraction and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to investigate the lattice and electronic properties of the Pr$_{4}$Fe$_{2}$As$_2$Te$_{0.88}$O$_4$ ($T_c=25$ K) superconductor. The crystal structure undergoes a high-temperature ($T_s = 250$ K) orthorhombic transition with no apparent magnetic transition. Further, we find the Fermi surface to consist of zone-corner electron pockets only. In addition to superconductivity, a second electronic instability -- evidenced by a spectroscopic gap below $T_g\approx 2\times T_c$ -- is found. Both, the electronic structure and the sequence of transitions, resemble what has been reported in monolayer and bulk FeSe. Our results thus provide a direct link between the iron-pnictide and iron-chalcogenide families of superconductors.
