The pressure dependencies of the magnetic and superconducting transitions, as well as that of the superconducting upper critical field are reported for single crystalline EuRbFe$_4$As$_4$. Resistance measurements were performed under hydrostatic pressures up to 6.21 GPa and in magnetic fields up to 9 T. Zero-field-cool magnetization measurements were performed under hydrostatic pressures up to 1.24 GPa under 20 mT applied field. Superconducting transition temperature, $T_text c$, up to 6.21 GPa and magnetic transition temperature, $T_text M$, up to 1.24 GPa were obtained and a pressure-temperature phase diagram was constructed. Our results show that $T_text c$ is monotonically suppressed upon increasing pressure. $T_text M$ is linearly increased up to 1.24 GPa. For the studied pressure range, no signs of the crossing of $T_text M$ and $T_text c$ lines are observed. The normalized slope of the superconducting upper critical field is gradually suppressed with increasing pressure, which may be due to the continuous change of Fermi-velocity $v_F$ with pressure.

We study single crystals of the magnetic superconductor EuRbFe$_4$As$_4$ by magnetization, electron spin resonance (ESR), angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and electrical resistance in pulsed magnetic fields up to 630 kOe. The superco
nducting state below 36.5 K is almost isotropic and only weakly affected by the development of Eu$^{2+}$ magnetic order at 15 K. On the other hand, for the external magnetic field applied along the c-axis the temperature dependence of the ESR linewidth reveals a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless topological transition below 15 K. This indicates that Eu$^{2+}$-planes are a good realization of a two-dimensional XY-magnet, which reflects the decoupling of the Eu$^{2+}$ magnetic moments from superconducting FeAs-layers.
Transport, magnetic and optical investigations on EuRbFe$_4$As$_4$ single crystals evidence that the ferromagnetic ordering of the Eu$^{2+}$ magnetic moments at $T_N=15$ K, below the superconducting transition ($T_c=36$ K), affects superconductivity
in a weak but intriguing way. Upon cooling below $T_N$, the zero resistance state is preserved and the superconductivity is affected by the in-plane ferromagnetism mainly at domain boundaries; a perfect diamagnetism is recovered at low temperatures. The infrared conductivity is strongly suppressed in the far-infrared region below $T_c$, associated with the opening of a complete superconducting gap at $2Delta = 10$ meV. A gap smaller than the weak coupling limit suggests the strong orbital effects or, within a multiband superconductivity scenario, the existence of a larger yet unrevealed gap.
We report the temperature-pressure phase diagram of CaKFe$_4$As$_4$ established using high pressure electrical resistivity, magnetization and high energy x-ray diffraction measurements up to 6 GPa. With increasing pressure, both resistivity and magne
tization data show that the bulk superconducting transition of CaKFe$_4$As$_4$ is suppressed and then disappears at $p$ $gtrsim$ 4 GPa. High pressure x-ray data clearly indicate a phase transition to a collapsed tetragonal phase in CaKFe$_4$As$_4$ under pressure that coincides with the abrupt loss of bulk superconductivity near 4 GPa. The x-ray data, combined with resistivity data, indicate that the collapsed tetragonal transition line is essentially vertical, occuring at 4.0(5) GPa for temperatures below 150 K. Band structure calculations also find a sudden transition to a collapsed tetragonal state near 4 GPa, as As-As bonding takes place across the Ca-layer. Bonding across the K-layer only occurs for $p$ $geq$ 12 GPa. These findings demonstrate a new type of collapsed tetragonal phase in CaKFe$_4$As$_4$: a half-collapsed-tetragonal phase.
Magnetic excitations and magnetic structure of EuRbFe$_4$As$_4$ were investigated by inelastic neutron scattering (INS), neutron diffraction, and random phase approximation (RPA) calculations. Below the superconducting transition temperature $T_text{
c}=36.5$~K, the INS spectra exhibit the neutron spin resonances at $Q_text{res}=1.27(2)$~$text{AA}^{-1}$ and $1.79(3)$~$text{AA}^{-1}$. They correspond to the $mathbf{Q}=(0.5,0.5,1)$ and $(0.5,0.5,3)$ nesting wave vectors, showing three dimensional nature of the band structure. The characteristic energy of the neutron spin resonance is $E_text{res}=17.7(3)$~meV corresponding to $5.7(1)k_text{B}T_text{c}$. Observation of the neutron spin resonance mode and our RPA calculations in conjunction with the recent optical conductivity measurements are indicative of the $s_pm$ superconducting pairing symmetry in EuRbFe$_4$As$_4$. In addition to the neutron spin resonance mode, upon decreasing temperature below the magnetic transition temperature $T_text{N}=15$~K, the spin wave excitation originating in the long-range magnetic order of the Eu sublattice was observed in the low-energy inelastic channel. Single-crystal neutron diffraction measurements demonstrate that the magnetic propagation vector of the Eu sublattice is $mathbf{k}=(0, 0, 0.25)$, representing the three-dimensional antiferromagnetic order. Linear spin wave calculations assuming the obtained magnetic structure with the intra- and inter-plane nearest neighbor exchange couplings of $J_1/k_text{B}=-1.31$~K and $J_c/k_text{B}=0.08$~K can reproduce quantitatively the observed spin wave excitation. Our results show that superconductivity and long-range magnetic order of Eu coexist in EuRbFe$_4$As$_4$ whereas the coupling between them is rather weak.
We report detailed specific heat measurements on the recently discovered magnetic superconductor RbEuFe$_4$As$_4$. We investigated the superconducting transition at 37K and extract the phase boundary for in and out-of plane fields resulting in an ani
sotropy ratio of 1.8. An unusual cusp-like feature in the calorimetric data near 14.9K marks the onset of a magnetic phase. Studying the effect of small fields along the crystallographic $c$ axis, we resolve a shift in the cusp position moving to lower temperatures. For in-plane fields the cusp rapidly disappears and a broad shoulder that shifts to higher temperatures. We are able to reproduce our measured calorimetry data quantitatively by Monte-Carlo simulations of an anisotropic easy-plane 2D Heisenberg model. We can thus show that (i) the spins are preferably in plane, (ii) the cusp in specific heat is due to a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition, and (iii) the high-temperature hump in higher fields marks a crossover from a paramagnetically disordered to an ordered state. The extracted phase and crossover boundaries from experiment and simulations agree very well.
