摘要:

本文报道了高质量CaFe_2As_2单晶的中子衍射测量。在TS = 172.5K(降温时)和173.5K(升温时),观察到高温四方晶系和低温斜方晶系之间的急剧转变。与结构转变相一致,我们观察到一个快速的,但连续的,有序的Fe力矩,在一个相称的反铁磁结构被观察到,与0.80(5)μ B/Fe的饱和力矩沿正交a轴定向。结构转变的滞后是1 K之间的冷却和变暖,是与以前的热力学,运输和单晶X射线研究。磁有序的温度开始随着结构转变而严格变化,为该材料与更广泛的铁砷化物的结构和磁转变之间的耦合提供了迄今为止最明确的证据。

英文摘要:

Neutron diffraction measurements of a high quality single crystal of CaFe2As2 are reported. A sharp transition was observed between the high temperature tetragonal and low temperature orthorhombic structures at TS = 172.5K (on cooling) and 173.5K (on warming). Coincident with the structural transition we observe a rapid, but continuous, ordering of the Fe moments, in a commensurate antiferromagnetic structure is observed, with a saturated moment of 0.80(5)muB/Fe directed along the orthorhombic a-axis. The hysteresis of the structural transition is 1K between cooling and warming and is consistent with previous thermodynamic, transport and single crystal x-ray studies. The temperature onset of magnetic ordering shifts rigidly with the structural transition providing the clearest evidence to date of the coupling between the structural and magnetic transitions in this material and the broader class of iron arsenides.
