Single crystals of ${\mathrm{SrFe}}_{2}{\mathrm{As}}_{2}$ grown using a self-flux solution method were characterized via x-ray, transport, and magnetization studies, revealing a superconducting phase below ${T}_{c}=21\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{K}$ characterized by a full electrical resistivity transition and partial diamagnetic screening. The reversible destruction and reinstatement of this phase by heat treatment and mechanical …
