Physical and magnetic properties of Ba(Fe${}_{1-x}$Ru${}_x$)${}_2$As${}_2$ single crystals

Abstract

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 134 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${}_c$ ($\sim 16.5$ K) found around $x\sim 0.29$. 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.
