Gradual enhancement of stripe-type antiferromagnetism in the spin-ladder material under pressure
Abstract
We report the recent discovery of pressure-induced superconductivity in BaFe2S3 and BaFe2Se3 has generated considerable interest in the 123-type iron chalcogenides. The structure of these materials features iron atoms arranged in quasi-one-dimensional ladders with either stripe-type or block-type antiferromagnetism at ambient pressure, constituting a new parent state for iron-based superconductivity in need of detailed study. Here, we report pressure-dependent neutron diffraction and muon spin relaxation/rotation measurements combined with first-principles calculations to investigate the structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of BaFe2S3 under pressure. The experimental results reveal a gradual enhancement of the stripe-type ordering temperature with increasing pressure up to 2.6 GPa and no observable change in the size of the ordered moment. The ab initio calculations suggest that the magnetism is highly sensitive to the Fe-S bond lengths and angles, clarifying discrepancies with previously published results. In contrast to our experimental observations, the calculations predict a reduction of the ordered moment with pressure. In conclusion, we suggest that the robustness of the stripe-type antiferromagnetism is due to strong electron correlations not fully considered in the calculations.
