Robust antiferromagnetism preventing superconductivity in pressurized (Ba0.61K0.39)Mn2Bi2
Abstract
BaMn2Bi2 possesses an iso-structure of iron pnictide superconductors and similar antiferromagnetic (AFM) ground state to that of cuprates, therefore, it receives much more attention on its properties and is expected to be the parent compound of a new family of superconductors. When doped with potassium (K), BaMn2Bi2 undergoes a transition from an AFM insulator to an AFM metal. Consequently, it is of great interest to suppress the AFM order in the K-doped BaMn2Bi2 with the aim of exploring the potential superconductivity. In this paper, we report that external pressure up to 35.6 GPa cannot suppress the AFM order in the K-doped BaMn2Bi2 to develop superconductivity in the temperature range of 300 K–1.5 K, but induces a tetragonal (T) to an orthorhombic (OR) phase transition at ~20 GPa. Theoretical calculations for the T and OR phases, on basis of our high-pressure XRD data, indicate that the AFM order is robust in the pressurized Ba0.61K0.39Mn2Bi2. We conclude that both of our experimental and theoretical results suggest that the robust AFM order essentially prevents the emergence of superconductivity.
