In order to study the effects of Mn substitution on the superconducting and magnetic ground state of CaKFe₄As₄ (T_c = 35 K), members of the CaK (Fe_1–xMn_x)₄As₄ series have been synthesized by high-temperature solution growth in single-crystalline form and characterized by elemental analysis, thermodynamic, and transport measurements. These measurements show that the superconducting transition temperature decreases monotonically and is finally suppressed below 1.8 K as x is increased from 0 to 0.036. For x values greater than 0.016, signatures of a magnetic transition can be detected in both thermodynamic and transport measurements in which kinklike features allow for the determination of the transition temperature T* that increases as Mn substitution increases. Here, a temperature-composition (T–x) phase diagram is constructed, revealing a half-dome of superconductivity with the magnetic transition temperature T* appearing near 26 K for x ~ 0.017 and rising slowly up to 33 K for x ~ 0.036. In addition to the creation of the T–x phase diagram for CaK(Fe_1–xMn_x)₄As₄, specific-heat data are used to track the jump in specific heat at T_c; the CaK(Fe_1–xMn_x)₄As₄ data do not follow the scaling of ΔC_p with $$T$$$^{3}_{c}$$ as many of the other Fe-based superconducting systems do. These data suggest that, as magnetic pair breaking is present, the jump in C_p for a given T_c is reduced. Elastoresistivity coefficients 2m₆₆ and m₁₁ – m₁₂ as a function of temperature are also measured. 2m₆₆ and m₁₁ – m₁₂ are qualitatively similar to CaK(Fe_1–xNi_x)₄As₄. This may indicate that the magnetic order in Mn-substituted system may be still the same as CaK(Fe_1–x Mn_x)₄As₄ . Superconductivity of CaK(Fe_1–x Mn_x)₄As₄ is also studied as a function of magnetic field. A clear change in H'_c2(T)/T_c, where H'_c2(T) is dH'_c2 (T)/dT, at x ~ 0.015 is observed and probably is related to change of the Fermi surface due to magnetic order. Coherence lengths and the London penetration depths are also calculated based on H_c1 and H_c2 data. Coherence lengths as the function of x also show the changes near x = 0.015, again consistent with Fermi-surface changes associated with the magnetic ordering seen for higher-x values.
