    Doping evolution of antiferromagnetism and transport properties in nonsuperconducting BaFe2−2xNixCrxAs2
    (American Physical Society, 2015) Zhang, Rui; Gong, Dongliang; Lu, Xingye; Li, Shiliang; Laver, Mark; Niedermayer, Christof; Danilkin, Sergey; Deng, Guochu; Dai, Pengcheng; Luo, Huiqian
    We report elastic neutron scattering and transport measurements on the Ni and Cr equivalently doped iron pnictide BaFe2−2xNixCrxAs2. Compared with the electron-doped BaFe2−xNixAs2, the long-range antiferromagnetic (AF) order in BaFe2−2xNixCrxAs2 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 BaFe2−xNixAs and BaFe2−2xNixCrxAs2 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 BaFe1.7−yNi0.3CryAs2.

    Nematic Fluctuations in the Non-Superconducting Iron Pnictide BaFe1.9−xNi0.1CrxAs2
    (Frontiers Media S.A., 2022) Gong, Dongliang; Yi, Ming; Wang, Meng; Xie, Tao; Zhang, Wenliang; Danilkin, Sergey; Deng, Guochu; Liu, Xinzhi; Park, Jitae T.; Ikeuchi, Kazuhiko; Kamazawa, Kazuya; Mo, Sung-Kwan; Hashimoto, Makoto; Lu, Donghui; Zhang, Rui; Dai, Pengcheng; Birgeneau, Robert J.; Li, Shiliang; Luo, Huiqian; Rice Center for Quantum Materials
    The main driven force of the electronic nematic phase in iron-based superconductors is still under debate. Here, we report a comprehensive study on the nematic fluctuations in a non-superconducting iron pnictide system BaFe1.9−xNi0.1CrxAs2 by electronic transport, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements. Previous neutron diffraction and transport measurements suggested that the collinear antiferromagnetism persists to x = 0.8, with similar Néel temperature TN and structural transition temperature Ts around 32 K, but the charge carriers change from electron type to hole type around x = 0.5. In this study, we have found that the in-plane resistivity anisotropy also highly depends on the Cr dopings and the type of charge carriers. While ARPES measurements suggest possibly weak orbital anisotropy onset near Ts for both x = 0.05 and x = 0.5 compounds, INS experiments reveal clearly different onset temperatures of low-energy spin excitation anisotropy, which is likely related to the energy scale of spin nematicity. These results suggest that the interplay between the local spins on Fe atoms and the itinerant electrons on Fermi surfaces is crucial to the nematic fluctuations of iron pnictides, where the orbital degree of freedom may behave differently from the spin degree of freedom, and the transport properties are intimately related to the spin dynamics.
