Abstract

Resistance measurements on single crystals of CaK(Fe $_{1 - x}$ Mn $_{x}$ ) $_{4}$ As $_{4}$ ( $x$ = 0.024) were performed under hydrostatic pressure up to 5.15 GPa. The pressure dependence of the magnetic and superconducting transition temperatures and that of the superconducting upper critical field are reported. Our results show that upon increasing pressure, the magnetic transition temperature $T_{N}$ is suppressed, whereas the superconducting transition temperature $T_{c}$ first increases and then decreases, exhibiting a maximum at a pressure $p_{c}$ corresponding to the intersection of the $T_{N}$ ( $p$ ) and $T_{c}$ ( $p$ ) lines. In addition, a minimum in the normalized slope of the superconducting upper critical field as well as a change in the pressure dependence of the inferred superconducting coherence length are observed at $p_{c}$ , suggesting a difference in the Fermi surface of the paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic states. Finally, CaK(Fe $_{1 - x}$ Mn $_{x}$ ) $_{4}$ As $_{4}$ ( $x$ = 0.024) likely goes through a half-collapsed-tetragonal phase transition at $\sim$ 4.3 GPa, further demonstrating that the half-collapsed-tetragonal transition pressure in the CaKFe $_{4}$ As $_{4}$ system is relatively insensitive to transition metal substitution.
