The effects of pressure up to $sim 20$ kbar, on the structural phase transition of SrFe$_2$As$_2$ and lightly Sn-doped BaFe$_2$As$_2$, as well as on the superconducting transition temperature and upper critical field of (Ba$_{0.55}$K$_{0.45}$)Fe$_2$As$_2$ single crystals have been studied. All the transition temperatures decrease with pressure in an almost linear fashion. Under pressure, the upper critical field curve, $H_{c2}(T)$, for (Ba$_{0.55}$K$_{0.45}$)Fe$_2$As$_2$ shifts down in temperature to follow the zero field $T_c$ with very little change in slope. Composite $P - T$ phase diagrams for three parent compounds, AFe$_2$As$_2$ (A = Ba, Sr, Ca), are constructed and appear to be remarkably similar: (i) having a structural (antiferromagnetic) phase transition line with a negative slope and (ii) showing signs of the emerging superconducting state at intermediate pressures.

We studied the effect of hydrostatic pressure (P) on the structural phase transitions and superconductivity in the ternary and pseudo-ternary iron arsenides CaFe2As2, BaFe2As2, and (Ba0.55K0.45)Fe2As2, by means of measurements of electrical resistivi
ty (rho) in the 1.8 - 300 K temperature (T) range, pressures up to 20 kbar, and magnetic fields up to 9 T. CaFe2As2 and BaFe2As2 (lightly doped with Sn) display structural phase transitions near 170 K and 85 K, respectively, and do not exhibit superconductivity in ambient pressure, while K-doped (Ba0.55K0.45)Fe2As2 is superconducting for T < 30 K. The effect of pressure on BaFe2As2 is to shift the onset of the crystallographic transformation down in temperature at the rate of about -1.04 K/kbar, while shifting the whole rho(T) curves downward, whereas its effect on superconducting (Ba0.55K0.45)Fe2As2 is to shift the onset of superconductivity to lower temperatures at the rate of about -0.21 K/kbar. The effect of pressure on CaFe2As2 is first to suppress the crystallographic transformation and induce superconductivity with onset near 12 K very rapidly, i.e., for P < 5 kbar. However, higher pressures bring about another phase transformation characterized by reduced resistivity, and the suppression of superconductivity, confining superconductivity to a narrow pressure dome centered near 5 kbar. Upper critical field (Hc2) data in (Ba0.55K0.45)Fe2As2 and CaFe2As2 are discussed.
Hall effect and magnetoresistance have been measured on single crystals of $NdFeAsO_{1-x}F_{x}$ with x = 0 ($T_c$ = 0 $ $K) and x = 0.18 ($T_c$ = 50 $ $K). For the undoped samples, strong Hall effect and magnetoresistance with strong temperature depe
ndence were found below about 150 K. The magnetoresistance was found to be as large as 30% at 15 K at a magnetic field of 9 T. From the transport data we found that the transition near 155 K was accomplished in two steps: first one occurs at 155 K which may be associated with the structural transition, the second one takes place at about 140 K which may correspond to the spin-density wave like transition. In the superconducting sample with $T_c$ = 50 $ $K, it is found that the Hall coefficient also reveals a strong temperature dependence with a negative sign. But the magnetoresistance becomes very weak and does not satisfy the Kohlers scaling law. These dilemmatic results (strong Hall effect and very weak magnetoresistance) prevent to understand the normal state electric conduction by a simple multi-band model by taking account the electron and hole pockets. Detailed analysis further indicates that the strong temperature dependence of $R_H$ cannot be easily understood with the simple multi-band model either. A picture concerning a suppression to the density of states at the Fermi energy in lowering temperature is more reasonable. A comparison between the Hall coefficient of the undoped sample and the superconducting sample suggests that the doping may remove the nesting condition for the formation of the SDW order, since both samples have very similar temperature dependence above 175 K.
Single crystals of BaFe$_2$As$_2$ and (Ba$_{0.55}$K$_{0.45}$)Fe$_2$As$_2$ have been grown out of excess Sn with 1% or less incorporation of solvent. The crystals are exceptionally micaceous, are easily exfoliated and can have dimensions as large as 3
x 3 x 0.2 mm$^3$. The BaFe$_2$As$_2$ single crystals manifest a structural phase transition from a high temperature tetragonal phase to a low temperature orthorhombic phase near 85 K and do not show any sign of superconductivity down to 1.8 K. This transition can be detected in the electrical resistivity, Hall resistivity, specific heat and the anisotropic magnetic susceptibility. In the (Ba$_{0.55}$K$_{0.45}$)Fe$_2$As$_2$ single crystals this transition is suppressed and instead superconductivity occurs with a transition temperature near 30 K. Whereas the superconducting transition is easily detected in resistivity and magnetization measurements, the change in specific heat near $T_c$ is small, but resolvable, giving $Delta C_p/gamma T_c approx 1$. The application of a 140 kOe magnetic field suppresses $T_c$ by only $sim 4$ K when applied along the c-axis and by $sim 2$ K when applied perpendicular to the c-axis. The ratio of the anisotropic upper critical fields, $gamma = H_{c2}^{perp c} / H_{c2}^{| c}$, varies between 2.5 and 3.5 for temperatures down to $sim 2$ K below $T_c$.
We report the synthesis and physical properties of single crystals of stoichiometric BaNi2As2 that crystalizes in the ThCr2Si2 structure with lattice parameters a = 4.112(4) AA and c = 11.54(2) AA. Resistivity and heat capacity show a first order pha
se transition at T_0 = 130 K with a thermal hysteresis of 7 K. The Hall coefficient is weakly temperature dependent from room temperature to 2 K where it has a value of -4x10^{-10} Omega-cm/Oe. Resistivity, ac-susceptibility, and heat capacity find evidence for bulk superconductivity at T_c = 0.7 K. The Sommerfeld coefficient at T_c is 11.6 pm 0.9 mJ/molK^2. The upper critical field is anisotropic with initial slopes of dH_{c2}^{c}/dT = -0.19 T/K and dH_{c2}^{ab}/dT = -0.40 T/K, as determined by resistivity.
We measured the pressure dependence of in-plane resistivity $rho_{ab}$ in the recently-discovered iron-based superconductor Ca$_{10}$(Ir$_{4}$As$_{8}$)(Fe$_{2-x}$Ir$_{x}$As$_{2}$)$_{5}$, which shows a unique structural phase transition in the absence
of magnetic ordering, with a superconducting transition temperature $T_{rm c}$ = 16 K and structural phase transition temperature $T_{rm s}$ $simeq$ 100 K at ambient pressure. $T_{rm c}$ and $T_{rm s}$ are suppressed on applying pressure and disappear at approximately 0.5 GPa, suggesting a relationship between superconductivity and structure. Ca$_{10}$(Ir$_{4}$As$_{8}$)(Fe$_{2-x}$Ir$_{x}$As$_{2}$)$_{5}$ is a rather rare example in which the superconductivity appears only in a low-temperature ordered phase. The fact that the change in the crystal structure is directly linked with superconductivity suggests that the crystal structure as well as magnetism are important factors governing superconductivity in iron pnictides.
