The gradual destruction of magnetism in the superconducting family NaFe(1-x)CoxAs
Abstract
The interplay and coexistence of superconducting, magnetic and structural order parameters in NaFe1-xCoxAs has been studied using SQUID magnetometry, muon-spin rotation and synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction. Substituting Fe by Co weakens the ordered magnetic state through both a suppression of TN and a reduction in the size of the ordered moment. Upon further substitution of Fe by Co the high sensitivity of the muon as a local magnetic probe reveals a magnetically disordered phase, in which the size of the moment continues to decrease and falls to zero around the same point at which the magnetically-driven structural distortion is no longer resolvable. Both magnetism and the structural distortion are weakened as the robust superconducting state is established.
