The compounds Ca(Fe1-xNix)2As2 with the tetragonal ThCr2Si2-type structure (space group I4/mmm) show a continuous transition of the interlayer As-As distances from a non-bonding state in CaFe2As2 (dAs-As = 313 pm) to single-bonded As2-dimers in CaNi2As2 (dAs-As = 260 pm). Magnetic measurements reveal weak ferromagnetism which develops near the composition Ca(Fe0.5Ni0.5)2As2, while the compounds with lower and higher nickel concentrations both are Pauli-paramagnetic. DFT band structure calculations reveal that the As2-dimer formation is a consequence of weaker metal-metal in MAs4-layers (M = Fe1-xNix) of Ni-richer compounds, and depends not on depopulation or shift of As-As antibonding states as suggested earlier. Our results also indicate that the ferromagnetism of Ca(Fe0.5Ni0.5)2As2 and related compounds like SrCo2(Ge0.5P0.5)2 is probably not induced by dimer breaking as recently suggested, but arises from the high density of states generated by the transition metal 3d bands near the Fermi level without contribution of the dimers.
Platelet-like single crystals of the Ca(Fe1-xCox)2As2 series having lateral dimensions up to 15 mm and thickness up to 0.5 mm were obtained from the high temperature solution growth technique using Sn flux. Upon Co doping, the c-axis of the tetragona
SrCo2As2 is a peculiar itinerant magnetic system that does not order magnetically, but inelastic neutron scattering experiments observe the same stripe-type antiferromagnetic (AF) fluctuations found in many of the Fe-based superconductors along with
The ternary-arsenide compound BaCo2As2 was previously proposed to be in proximity to a quantum-critical point where long-range ferromagnetic (FM) order is suppressed by quantum fluctuations. Here we report the effect of Ir substitution for Co on the
We study the anisotropic in-plane optical conductivity of detwinned Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2 single crystals for x=0, 2.5% and 4.5% in a broad energy range (3 meV-5 eV) across their structural and magnetic transitions. For temperatures below the Neel transit
Two ordering states, antiferromagnetism and nematicity, have been observed in most iron-based superconductors (SCs). In contrast to those SCs, the newly discovered SC CaK(Fe$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$)$_4$As$_4$ exhibits an antiferromagnetic (AFM) state, called h
