Doping evolution of antiferromagnetism and transport properties in the non-superconducting BaFe2-2xNixCrxAs2

Abstract

We report elastic neutron scattering and transport measurements on the Ni and Cr equivalently doped iron pnictide BaFe${}_{2-2x}$Ni${}_x$Cr${}_x$As${}_2$. Compared with the electron-doped BaFe${}_{2-x}$Ni${}_x$As${}_2$, the long-range antiferromagnetic (AF) order in BaFe${}_{2-2x}$Ni${}_x$Cr${}_x$As${}_2$ is gradually suppressed with vanishing ordered moment and Néel temperature near $x=0.20$ without the appearance of superconductivity. A detailed analysis on the transport properties of BaFe${}_{2-x}$Ni${}_x$As and BaFe${}_{2-2x}$Ni${}_x$Cr${}_x$As${}_2$ suggests that the non-Fermi-liquid behavior associated with the linear resistivity as a function of temperature may not correspond to the disappearance of the static AF order. From the temperature dependence of the resistivity in overdoped compounds without static AF order, we find that the transport properties are actually affected by Cr impurity scattering, which may induce a metal-to-insulator crossover in highly doped BaFe${}_{1.7-y}$Ni${}_{0.3}$Cr${}_y$As${}_2$.
