Structural and Magnetic Phase Transitions near Optimal Superconductivity in BaFe2(As(1-x)Px)2.

چکیده
We use nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), high-resolution x-ray, and neutron scattering studies to study structural and magnetic phase transitions in phosphorus-doped BaFe2(As(1-x)P(x)2. Previous transport, NMR, specific heat, and magnetic penetration depth measurements have provided compelling evidence for the presence of a quantum critical point (QCP) near optimal superconductivity at x=0.3. However, we show that the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural (T{s}) and paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic (AF, TN) transitions in BaFe2(As(1-x)Px)2 are always coupled and approach T{N}≈T{s}≥T{c} (≈29 K) for x=0.29 before vanishing abruptly for x≥0.3. These results suggest that AF order in BaFe_{2}(As(1-x)Px)2 disappears in a weakly first-order fashion near optimal superconductivity, much like the electron-doped iron pnictides with an avoided QCP.

Hole-doped BaFe2-xCrxAs2 Crystals: A Case of Non-superconductivity
We investigate the physical properties and electronic structure upon Cr-doping in the iron arsenide layers of BaFe2As2. This form of hole-doping leads to suppression of the magnetic/structural phase transition in BaFe2-xCrxAs2 for x > 0, but does not lead to superconductivity. For various x values, temperature dependence of the resistivity, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, Hall coefficie...
متن کاملStructure and anisotropic properties of BaFe2−xNixAs2 (x=0, 1, and 2) single crystals
The crystal structure, electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and heat capacity of single crystals of BaFe2As2, BaNi2As2, and BaFeNiAs2 are reported. BaFe2As2 data indicate the equivalence of C T , d T /dT, and d /dT results in determining the antiferromagnetic transition at TN=132 1 K. BaNi2As2 shows a structural phase transition from a high-temperature tetragonal phase to a low-temp...
متن کاملDetermination of the phase diagram of the electron-doped superconductor Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2
Systematic measurements of the resistivity, heat capacity, susceptibility, and Hall coefficient are presented for single-crystal samples of the electron-doped superconductor Ba Fe1−xCox 2As2. These data delineate an x-T phase diagram in which the single magnetic/structural phase transition that is observed for undoped BaFe2As2 at 134 K appears to split into two distinct phase transitions, both ...

We have synthesized the polycrystalline samples of Eu1-xKxFe2As2 (x = 0-1) and carried out systematic characterization using x-ray diffraction, ac & dc magnetic susceptibility, and electrical resistivity measurements. We have seen a clear signature of the coexistence of superconducting transition (Tc = 5.5 K) with SDW ordering in our under doped sample viz. x = 0.15. The spin density wave trans...
متن کامل1 2 A ug 2 00 9 Superconductivity up to 30 K in the vicinity of quantum critical point in BaFe 2 ( As 1 − x P x ) 2
We report bulk superconductivity induced by an isovalent doping of phosphorus in BaFe2(As1−xPx)2. The P-for-As substitution results in shrinkage of lattice, especially for the FeAs block layers. The resistivity anomaly associated with the spin-density-wave (SDW) transition in the undoped compound is gradually suppressed by the P doping. Superconductivity with the maximum Tc of 30 K emerges at x...
