Title: Pressure-induced shift of Tc and structural transition in “122” type pnictide superconductor Ca0.34Na0.66Fe2As2

Abstract

Here, the effect of pressure on superconductivity of “122” type Ca1-xNaxFe2As2 (x=0.66 single crystal is investigated through the temperature dependence of resistanc measurement. Optimal Na doped (Ca0.34Na0.66)Fe2As2 shows a superconductin transition with Tc ~ 33 K at ambient pressure. With application of pressure, T decreases nearly linearly with dTc/dP ~ -1.7K/GPa at pressures lower than 2 GPa and disappears gradually at higher pressure. The disappearance of superconductivit is also companied with the recovery of standard Fermi liquid behaviors of th normal-state transport properties. Moreover, (Ca0.34Na0.66)Fe2As2 exhibits a tetragona (T) to collapsed-tetragonal (cT) transition at about 3 GPa. The evolution o non-Fermi liquid behaviors and superconductivity under pressure are both relate to the interband fluctuations.
