The charge dynamics of Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$TM$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ (TM = Mn and Cr) has been investigated by optical spectroscopy. It was found that in addition to the strong suppression of the coherent charge transport, the magnetic impurity induces a novel spectral feature related to the carrier localization in the far-infrared region above the antiferromagnetic transition temperature. We attribute it to the cooperative effect between conduction electrons and local magnetic order induced by magnetic impurities. The present results demonstrate that Mn and Cr are not conventional magnetic pair-breakers in iron pnictides.

Using electronic Raman spectroscopy, we report direct measurements of charge nematic fluctuations in the tetragonal phase of strain-free Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x})_{2}$As$_{2}$ single crystals. The strong enhancement of the Raman response at low temperatu
res unveils an underlying charge nematic state that extends to superconducting compositions and which has hitherto remained unnoticed. Comparison between the extracted charge nematic susceptibility and the elastic modulus allows us to disentangle the charge contribution to the nematic instability, and to show that charge nematic fluctuations are weakly coupled to the lattice.
Single crystals of Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Ru$_x$)$_2$As$_2$, $x<0.37$, have been grown and characterized by structural, magnetic and transport measurements. These measurements show that the structural/magnetic phase transition found in pure BaFe$_2$As$_2$ at 1
34 K is suppressed monotonically by Ru doping, but, unlike doping with TM=Co, Ni, Cu, Rh or Pd, the coupled transition seen in the parent compound does not detectably split into two separate ones. Superconductivity is stabilized at low temperatures for $x>0.2$ and continues through the highest doping levels we report. The superconducting region is dome like, with maximum T$_c$ ($sim16.5$ K) found around $xsim 0.29$. A phase diagram of temperature versus doping, based on electrical transport and magnetization measurements, has been constructed and compared to those of the Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$TM$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ (TM=Co, Ni, Rh, Pd) series as well as to the temperature-pressure phase diagram for pure BaFe$_2$As$_2$. Suppression of the structural/magnetic phase transition as well as the appearance of superconductivity is much more gradual in Ru doping, as compared to Co, Ni, Rh and Pd doping, and appears to have more in common with BaFe$_2$As$_2$ tuned with pressure; by plotting $T_S/T_m$ and $T_c$ as a function of changes in unit cell dimensions, we find that changed in the $c/a$ ratio, rather than changes in $c$, $a$ or V, unify the $T(p)$ and $T(x)$ phase diagrams for BaFe$_2$As$_2$ and Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Ru$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ respectively.
Discoveries of ordered quantum states of matter are of great fundamental interest, and often lead to unique applications. The most well known example -- superconductivity -- is caused by the formation and condensation of pairs of electrons. A key pro
perty of superconductors is diamagnetism: magnetic fields are screened by dissipationless currents. Fundamentally, what distinguishes superconducting states from normal states is a spontaneously broken symmetry corresponding to long-range coherence of fermion pairs. Here we report a set of experimental observations in hole doped Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$ which are not consistent with conventional superconducting behavior. Our specific-heat measurements indicate the formation of fermionic bound states when the temperature is lowered from the normal state. However, for $x sim 0.8$, instead of the standard for superconductors, zero resistance and diamagnetic screening, for a range of temperatures, we observe the opposite effect: the generation of self-induced magnetic fields measured by spontaneous Nernst effect and muon spin rotation experiments. The finite resistance and the lack of any detectable diamagnetic screening in this state exclude the spontaneously broken symmetry associated with superconducting two-fermion correlations. Instead, combined evidence from transport and thermodynamic measurements indicates that the formation of fermionic bound states leads to spontaneous breaking of time-reversal symmetry above the superconducting transition temperature. These results demonstrate the existence of a broken-time-reversal-symmetry bosonic metal state. In the framework of a multiband theory, such a state is characterized by quartic correlations: the long-range order exists only for {it pairs} of fermion pairs.
We study an odd-parity magnetic multipole order in Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$Mn$_2$As$_2$ and related materials. Although BaMn$_2$As$_2$ is a seemingly conventional Mott insulator with G-type antiferromagnetic order, we identify the ground state as a magnetic h
exadecapole ordered state accompanied by simultaneous time-reversal and space-inversion symmetry breaking. A symmetry argument and microscopic calculations reveal the ferroic ordering of leading magnetic hexadecapole moment and admixed magnetic quadrupole moment. Furthermore, we clarify electromagnetic responses characterizing the magnetic hexadecapole state of semiconducting BaMn$_2$As$_2$ and doped metallic systems. A magnetoelectric effect and antiferromagnetic Edelstein effect are shown. Interestingly, a counter-intuitive currentinduced nematic order occurs in the metallic state. The electric current along the textit{z}-axis induces the textit{xy}-plane nematicity in sharp contrast to the spontaneous nematic order in superconducting Febased 122-compounds. Thus, the magnetic hexadecapole state of doped BaMn$_2$As$_2$ is regarded as a magnetopiezoelectric metal. The anomalous responses stem from the peculiar symmetry of the parity-violating magnetic order. Other candidate materials for magnetic hexadecapole order are proposed.
Measurements of the current-voltage characteristics were performed on Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ single crystals with doping level $0.044 leq x leq 0.1$. An unconventional increase in the flux-flow resistivity $rho_{rm ff}$ with decreasing magnet
ic field was observed across this doping range. Such an abnormal field dependence of flux-flow resistivity is in contrast with the linear field dependence of $rho_{rm ff}$ in conventional type-II superconductors, but is similar to the behavior recently observed in the heavy-fermion superconductor CeCoIn$_5$. A significantly enhanced $rho_{rm ff}$ was found for the x=0.06 single crystals, implying a strong single-particle energy dissipation around the vortex cores. At different temperatures and fields and for a given doping concentration, the normalized $rho_{rm ff}$ scales with normalized field and temperature. The doping level dependence of these parameters strongly suggests that the abnormal upturn flux-flow resisitivity is likely related to the enhancement of spin fluctuations around the vortex cores of the optimally doped samples.
