Title: Magnetic Precursor of the Pressure-Induced Superconductivity in Fe-Ladder Compounds

Abstract

We studied the pressure effects on the antiferromagentic orders in iron-based ladder compounds CsFe$$_2$$Se$$_3$$ and BaFe$$_2$$S$$_3$$ using single crytal neutron diffraction technique. With identical crystal structure and similar magnetic structures, the two compounds exhibit highly contrasting magnetic behaviors under moderate external pressures. In CsFe$$_2$$Se$$_3$$ the ladders are brought much closer to each other by pressure, but the stripe-type of magnetic order shows no observable change. Furthermore, the stripe order in BaFe$$_2$$S$$_3$$, undergoes a quantum phase transition where an abrupt increase of $$N\acute{e}el$$ temperature by more than 50$$\%$$ occurs at about 1 GPa, accompanied by a jump in ordered moment. Finally, with its spin structure unchanged, BaFe$$_2$$S$$_3$$ enters an enhanced magnetic phase that bears the characteristics of an orbital selective Mott phase, which is the true herald for superconductivity emerging at higher pressures.
