Muon-spin-rotation study of the magnetic structure in the tetragonal antiferromagnetic state of weakly underdoped Ba${}_{1-x}$K${}_x$Fe${}_2$As${}_2$

Abstract

With muon spin rotation ($\mu$SR) we studied the transition between the orthorhombic antiferromagnetic (o-AF) and the tetragonal antiferromagnetic (t-AF) states of a weakly underdoped Ba${}_{1-x}$K${}_x$Fe${}_2$As${}_2$ single crystal. We observed some characteristic changes of the magnitude and the orientation of the magnetic field at the muon site which, due to the fairly high point symmetry of the latter, allow us to identify the magnetic structure of the t-AF state. It is the so-called, inhomogeneous double-$\mathbf{Q}$ magnetic structure with $c$-axis oriented moments which has a vanishing magnetic moment on half of the Fe sites.
