Detailed magnetic and structural analysis mapping a robust magnetic dome in
Abstract
The recently discovered C4 tetragonal magnetic phase in hole-doped members of the iron-based superconductors provides new insights into the origin of unconventional superconductivity. Previously observed in Ba1-xNaxFe2As2 (with A = K, Na), the C4 magnetic phase exists within the well studied C2 spin-density wave (SDW) dome, arising just before the complete suppression of antiferromagnetic (AFM) order but after the onset of superconductivity. Here in this paper, we present detailed x-ray and neutron diffraction studies of Sr1-xNaxFe2As2 (0.10 ≤ x ≤ 0.60) to determine their structural evolution and the extent of the C4 phase. Spanning Δx ~ 0.14 in composition, the C4 phase is found to extend over a larger range of compositions, and to exhibit a significantly higher transition temperature, Tr ~ 65K, than in either of the other systems in which it has been observed. The onset of this phase is seen near a composition (x~0:30) where the bonding angles of the Fe2As2 layers approach the perfect 109.46° tetrahedral angle. We discuss the possible role of this return to a higher symmetry environment for the magnetic iron site in triggering the magnetic reorientation and the coupled re-entrance to the tetragonal structure. Finally, we present a new phase diagram, completemore »
