Control of the Competition between a Magnetic Phase and a Superconducting Phase in Cobalt-Doped and Nickel-Doped NaFeAs Using Electron Count

Abstract: Using a combination of neutron, muon, and synchrotron techniques we show how the magnetic state in NaFeAs can be tuned into superconductivity by replacing Fe by either Co or Ni. The electron count is the dominant factor, since Ni doping has double the effect of Co doping for the same doping level. We follow the structural, magnetic, and superconducting properties as a function of doping to show how the superconducting state evolves, concluding that the addition of 0.1 electrons per Fe atom is sufficient to tra… Show more

“…Of all the known Fe-based superconductors, LiFeAs remains one of the most intriguing: Unlike other pnictides, such as BaFe 2 As 2 (Ref. 1) and NaFeAs, 2 LiFeAs is a superconductor in its stoichiometric form 3,4 and any chemical substitution on the Fe site (with Co or Ni, for instance) causes a reduction in the transition temperature T c . 5 In contrast with other systems, no ordered magnetic phase or structural transition has yet been observed in LiFeAs, a fact that has provoked much debate given the tendency for band-structure calculations to predict similar magnetic ground states to those seen in other pnictides.…”

“…[10])] strain, the generic features of the phase diagrams, such as a superconducting dome, are qualitatively the same. More intriguingly, differing from the universal doping range observed in cuprates [11], the sizes of the superconducting domes vary significantly in various families of FeHTS's [6][7][8][9][10][12][13][14][15]. For example, the superconductivity in BaðFe 1−x Co x Þ 2 As 2 disappears at 12% electron doping [7], while LaFeAsO 1−x H x shows superconductivity at the doping level as high as 40% [16].…”

“…The compound is less reactive with the environment than LiFeAs but the exposure to air strongly affects c T [68]. Replacing Fe by either Co or Ni suppresses the magnetism and enhances superconductivity [69]. For ARPES on NaFeAs, see [70,71].…”
