Abstract

Single crystals of NaFeTAs with T = Co, Rh have been grown using a self-flux technique. The crystals were thoroughly characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility and electronic transport with particular focus on the Rh-doped samples. Measurements of the specific heat and ARPES were conducted exemplarily for the optimally doped compositions. The spin-density wave transition (SDW) observed for samples with low Rh concentration () is fully suppressed in the optimally doped sample. The superconducting transition temperature () is enhanced from ~K in NaFeAs to ~K in the optimally doped sample ( = 0.019) of the NaFeRhAs series and decreases for the overdoped compounds, revealing a typical shape for the superconducting part of the electronic phase diagram. Remarkably, the phase diagram is almost identical to that of Co-doped NaFeAs, suggesting a generic phase diagram for both dopants.
