Because of their complex Fermi surfaces, the identification of the physical phenomena contributing to electronic scattering in the Fe-based superconductors is a difficult task. Here, we report on the electrical resistivity, magnetoresistance, and Hall effect in two series of BaFe$_{2-x}$T$_x$As$_2$ (T = Co, Ni) crystals with different values of $x$. The T contents were chosen so that the majority of the investigated samples present an intermediate magnetically ordered state and a superconducting ground state. We interpret the obtained results in terms of scattering of charge carriers by magnetic excitations instead of describing them as resulting uniquely from effects related to multiple-band conduction. Our samples are single crystals from the structural point of view and their overall magnetotransport properties are dominated by a single magnetic state.

We study systematically transport, susceptibility and heat capacity for BaFe$_{2-x}$Co$_x$As$_2$ single crystals. In the underdoped region, spin density wave (SDW) transition is observed in both resistivity and susceptibility. The magnetic susceptibi lity shows unusual T-linear dependence above SDW transition up to 700 K. With Co doping, SDW ordering is gradually suppressed and superconductivity emerges with a dome-like shape. Electrical transport, specific heat and magnetic susceptibility indicate that SDW and superconductivity coexist in the sample BaFe$_{2-x}$Co$_x$As$_2$ around x = 0.17, being similar with (Ba,K)Fe$_2$As$_2$. When x$>$0.34, the superconductivity completely disappears. A crossover from non-Fermi-liquid state to Fermi-liquid state is observed with increasing Co doping. A detailed electronic phase diagram about evolution from SDW to superconducting state is given.
We use neutron diffraction and muon spin relaxation to study the effect of in-plane uniaxial pressure on the antiferromagnetic (AF) orthorhombic phase in BaFe$_2$As$_2$ and its Co- and Ni-substituted members near optimal superconductivity. In the low temperature AF ordered state, uniaxial pressure necessary to detwin the orthorhombic crystals also increases the magnetic ordered moment, reaching an 11$%$ increase under 40 MPa for BaFe$_{1.9}$Co$_{0.1}$As$_2$, and a 15$%$ increase for BaFe$_{1.915}$Ni$_{0.085}$As$_2$. We also observe an increase of the AF ordering temperature ($T_N$) of about 0.25 K/MPa in all compounds, consistent with density functional theory calculations that reveal better Fermi surface nesting for itinerant electrons under uniaxial pressure. The doping dependence of the magnetic ordered moment is captured by combining dynamical mean field theory with density functional theory, suggesting that the pressure-induced moment increase near optimal superconductivity is closely related to quantum fluctuations and the nearby electronic nematic phase.
We have systematically studied the low-temperature specific heat of the BaFe$_{2-x}$Ni$_x$As$_2$ single crystals covering the whole superconducting dome. Using the nonsuperconducting heavily overdoped x = 0.3 sample as a reference for the phonon cont ribution to the specific heat, we find that the normal-state electronic specific heats in the superconducting samples may have a nonlinear temperature dependence, which challenges previous results in the electron-doped Ba-122 iron-based superconductors. A model based on the presence of ferromagnetic spin fluctuations may explain the data between x = 0.1 and x = 0.15, suggesting the important role of Fermi-surface topology in understanding the normal-state electronic states.
The electronic structure inhomogeneities in Co, Ni, and Cr doped BaFe2As2 122 single crystals are compared using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S) at the nanoscale within three bulk property regions in the phase diagram: a pure super conducting (SC) dome region (Co-122), a coexisting SC and antiferromagnetic (AFM) region (Ni-122), and a non-SC region (Cr-122). Machine learning is utilized to categorize the various nanometer scale inhomogeneous electronic states, described here as in-gap, L-shape and S-shape states immersed into the SC matrix for Ni-and Co-doped 122, and L-shape and S-shape states into the metallic matrix for Cr-doped 122. Although the relative percentages of in-gap, L-shape and S-shape states vary in the three samples, the total volume fraction of the three electronic states is quite similar. This is coincident with the number of electrons (Ni0.04 and Co0.08) and holes (Cr0.04) doped into the 122 compound. By combining the volume fractions of the three states, the local density of states (LDOS), magnetic field dependent behavior and global properties in these three samples, the in-gap state is confirmed as a magnetic impurity state from the Co or Ni dopants. In addition, the L-shape state is identified as a spin density wave (SDW) which competes with the SC phase, and the S-shape state is found to be another form of magnetic order which constructively cooperates with the SC phase, rather than competing with it. The comparison of the vortex structures indicates that the inhomogeneous electronic states serve as pinning centers for stabilizing the vortex lattice.
We have systematically studied the nematic fluctuations in the electron-doped iron-based superconductor BaFe$_{2-x}$Ni$_x$As$_2$ by measuring the in-plane resistance change under uniaxial pressure. While the nematic quantum critical point can be iden tified through the measurements along the (110) direction as studied previously, quantum and thermal critical fluctuations cannot be distinguished due to similar Curie-Weiss-like behaviors. Here we find that a sizable pressure-dependent resistivity along the (100) direction is present in all doping levels, which is against the simple picture of an Ising-type nematic model. The signal along the (100) direction becomes maximum at optimal doping, suggesting that it is associated with nematic quantum critical fluctuations. Our results indicate that thermal fluctuations from striped antiferromagnetic order dominate the underdoped regime along the (110) direction. We argue that either there is a strong coupling between the quantum critical fluctuations and the fermions, or more exotically, a higher symmetry may be present around optimal doping.
