Superconductivity up to 30 K in the vicinity of quantum critical point in BaFe${}_2$(As${}_{1-x}$P${}_x$)${}_2$

Abstract

We report bulk superconductivity induced by an isovalent doping of phosphorus in BaFe${}_2$(As${}_{1-x}$P${}_x$)${}_2$. The P-for-As substitution results in shrinkage of lattice, especially for the FeAs block layers. The resistivity anomaly associated with the spin-density-wave (SDW) transition in the undoped compound is gradually suppressed by the P doping. Superconductivity with the maximum $T_c$ of 30 K emerges at $x$=0.32, coinciding with a magnetic quantum critical point (QCP) which is evidenced by the disappearance of SDW order and the linear temperature-dependent resistivity in the normal state. The $T_c$ values were found to decrease with further P doping, and no superconductivity was observed down to 2 K for $x\ge$ 0.77. The appearance of superconductivity in the vicinity of QCP hints to the superconductivity mechanism in iron-based arsenides.
