Polycrystalline samples with nominal Se:Te in FeSe1-xTex samples for x=0.5350{\deg}C, 0.5700{\deg}C, 0.6700{\deg}C and 0.75700{\deg}C were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. It has been observed that the most superconducting properties seen in x=0.6700{\deg}C samples as dc magnetic susceptibility, ac susceptibility and resistivity measurements. Tc enhancement is well correlated with the Te substitution up to 75% and c lattice parameters monotonically increased with increasing Te concentration. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1206.0401v2
