摘要:

最近发现的铁砷化物超导体的母体化合物$A$ Fe $_2$ As $_2$与碱土金属$A$ =Ca,Sr,Ba在温度$T_{SM}$下同时经历结构和磁性相变。使用偏振光显微镜和空间分辨高能同步辐射X射线衍射相结合,我们表明,正交畸变导致形成45 $^o$型结构域在所有的母体化合物。畴沿$c$方向穿透样品厚度,不受生长台阶等晶体缺陷的影响。畴在平面内形成具有10至50 $μm$的特征尺寸的规则条纹图案。条纹的方向相对于四元晶系(100)和(010)方向是固定的,但在热循环过程中可以通过转变改变90 $^o$。这种畴型可能对砷化铁的本征无序和各向异性具有深刻的意义。

英文摘要:

The parent compounds of recently discovered iron-arsenide superconductors, $A$Fe$_2$As$_2$ with alkaline earth $A$=Ca, Sr, Ba, undergo simultaneous structural and magnetic phase transitions at a temperature $T_{SM}$. Using a combination of polarized light microscopy and spatially resolved high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction we show that the orthorhombic distortion leads to the formation of 45$^o$-type structural domains in all parent compounds. Domains penetrate through the sample thickness in the $c$- direction and are not affected by crystal defects such as growth terraces. The domains form regular stripe patterns in the plane with a characteristic dimension of 10 to 50 $μm$. The direction of the stripes is fixed with respect to the tetragonal (100) and (010) directions but can change by 90$^o$ on thermal cycling through the transition. This domain pattern may have profound implications for intrinsic disorder and anisotropy of iron arsenides.
