Title: Antiferromagnetic stacking of ferromagnetic layers and doping-controlled phase competition in Ca 1 - x Sr x Co 2 - y As 2

Abstract

In search of a quantum phase transition between the two-dimensional ( 2 D ) ferromagnetism of CaCo 2 - y As 2 and stripe-type antiferromagnetism in SrCo 2 As 2 , we instead find evidence for 1 D magnetic frustration between magnetic square Co layers. We present neutron-diffraction data for Ca 1 - x Sr x Co 2 - y As 2 that reveal a sequence of x -dependent magnetic transitions which involve different stacking of 2 D ferromagnetically aligned layers with different magnetic anisotropy. We explain the x -dependent changes to the magnetic order by utilizing classical analytical calculations of a 1 D Heisenberg model where single-ion magnetic anisotropy and frustration of antiferromagnetic nearest- and next-nearest-layer exchange interactions are all composition dependent.

FIG. 1 FIG. 1: Chemical and magnetic structures of Ca1−xSrxCo2−yAs2, and the magnetic phase diagram based on magnetization data from Ref. [19]. The AF1 phase has A-type antiferromagnetic (AF) order characterized by an AF propagation vector of τ = (0, 0, 1), and consists of ferromagnetic Co layers stacked AF along themore » crystalline c axis (+−+−). The ordered magnetic moment µ lies parallel to c. The UNK phase has a ++−− structure with τ = (0, 0, 1 2 ) and µ ‖ c. The AF2 phase has τ = (0, 0, 1 2 ) but µ ⊥ c. Its order is either ++−− (left), or a clock-type AF structure (right). The occurrence of magnetic domains prevents us from distinguishing between these structures. Similarly, an amplitude-modulated spin-density wave cannot be ruled out. PM stands for paramagnetic and µ is given per Co atom. The diagrams were created with VESTA.« less
