摘要:

本文采用X射线粉末衍射、中子散射、μ子自旋旋转(muSR)和磁力显微镜(MFM)等方法对低掺杂的新型磷属元素化物超导体Ba(1-x)K(x)Fe(2)As(2)进行了综合研究。从中子散射数据中磁(1 0 - 3)反射的出现和零场muSR不对称性中阻尼振荡的观察中推断,在低于Tm ~ 70 K的温度范围内存在相当的静态磁序集。低于Tc的横向场muSR显示磁有序和非磁性状态的共存,这也通过MFM成像证实。我们解释这种共存的电子相分离成反铁磁和超导/正常状态区域的横向尺度上的几十纳米。我们的研究结果表明,这种介观相分离可以被认为是一些铁磷属元素化物超导体的内在属性。

英文摘要:

Here we present a combined study of the slightly underdoped novel pnictide superconductor Ba(1-x)K(x)Fe(2)As(2) by means of X-ray powder diffraction, neutron scattering, muon spin rotation (muSR), and magnetic force microscopy (MFM). Commensurate static magnetic order sets in below Tm ~ 70 K as inferred from the emergence of the magnetic (1 0 -3) reflection in the neutron scattering data and from the observation of damped oscillations in the zero-field-muSR asymmetry. Transverse-field muSR below Tc shows a coexistence of magnetically ordered and non-magnetic states, which is also confirmed by MFM imaging. We explain such coexistence by electronic phase separation into antiferromagnetic and superconducting/normal state regions on a lateral scale of several tens of nanometers. Our findings indicate that such mesoscopic phase separation can be considered an intrinsic property of some iron pnictide superconductors.
