Local Superconductivity in Vanadium Iron Arsenide
arXiv:1903.03660 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.100.104525
Abstract
We investigate the chemical substitution of group 5 into BaFe2As2 (122) iron arsenide, in the effort to understand why Fe-site hole doping of this compound (e.g., using group 5 or 6) does not yield bulk superconductivity. We find an increase in c-lattice parameter of the BaFe2As2 with the substitution of V, Nb, or Ta; the reduction in c predicts the lack of bulk superconductivity [1] that is confirmed here through transport and magnetization results. However, our spectroscopy measurements find a coexistence of antiferromagnetic and local superconducting nanoscale regions in V-122, observed for the first time in a transition-metal hole-doped iron arsenide. In BaFe2As2, there is a complex connection between local parameters such as composition and lattice strain, average lattice details, and the emergence of bulk quantum states such as superconductivity and magnetism.
