Suppression of magnetic order in CaCo$_{1.86}$As$_{2}$ with Fe substitution: Magnetization, neutron diffraction, and x-ray diffraction studies of Ca(Co$_{1-x}$Fe$_{x}$)$_{y}$As$_{2}$

Magnetization, neutron diffraction, and high-energy x-ray diffraction results for Sn-flux grown single-crystal samples of Ca(Co$_{1-x}$Fe$_{x}$)$_{y}$As$_{2}$, $0leq xleq1$, $1.86leq y leq 2$, are presented and reveal that A-type antiferromagnetic order, with ordered moments lying along the $c$ axis, persists for $xlesssim0.12(1)$. The antiferromagnetic order is smoothly suppressed with increasing $x$, with both the ordered moment and N{e}el temperature linearly decreasing. Stripe-type antiferromagnetic order does not occur for $xleq0.25$, nor does ferromagnetic order for $x$ up to at least $x=0.104$, and a smooth crossover from the collapsed-tetragonal (cT) phase of CaCo$_{1.86}$As$_{2}$ to the tetragonal (T) phase of CaFe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ occurs. These results suggest that hole doping CaCo$_{1.86}$As$_{2}$ has a less dramatic effect on the magnetism and structure than steric effects due to substituting Sr for Ca.
