Coincident structural and magnetic order in BaFe${}_2$(As${}_{1-x}$)P${}_x$)${}_2$ revealed by high-resolution neutron diffraction

Abstract

We present neutron diffraction analysis of BaFe${}_2$(As${}_{1-x}$P${}_x$)${}_2$ over a wide temperature (10 to 300 K) and compositional ($0.11\le x\le 0.79$) range, including the normal state, the magnetically ordered state, and the superconducting state. The paramagnetic to spin-density wave and orthorhombic to tetragonal transitions are first order and coincident within the sensitivity of our measurements ($\sim 0.5$ K). Extrapolation of the orthorhombic order parameter down to zero suggests that structural quantum criticality cannot exist at compositions higher than $x=0.28$, which is much lower than values determined using other methods, but in good agreement with our observations of the actual phase stability range. The onset of spin-density wave order shows a stronger structural anomaly than the charge-doped system in the form of an enhancement of the $c/a$ ratio below the transition.
