Disentanglement of static and dynamic magnetism in itinerant AFe4X2 systems studied by Muon Spin Relaxation and Mössbauer Spectroscopy — •Til Goltz1, Nandang Mufti2, Christoph Geibel2, Johannes Spehling1, Hubertus Luetkens3, and Hans-Henning Klauss1 — 1Institute of Solid State Physics, TU Dresden, Germany — 2MPI for Chemical Physics of Solids, Dresden, Germany — 3Laboratory for Muon Spin Spectroscopy, Paul Scherrer Institut, Villigen, Switzerland
The AFe4X2 (A=Y, Lu, Zr; X=Ge, Si) family of transition metal tetrels has shown to be a promising candidate for studying the change of the electronic ground state under chemical substitution [1]. Within the ZrFe4Si2-type structure (P42/mnm), the iron atoms are arranged in chains of edge-linked tetrahedra [2]. Their structure is prone for reduced dimensionality or frustration and is thus expected to lead to emergent phenomena near a quantum critical point.
In this talk, we give an overview of our recent experimental findings from Muon Spin Relaxation and Mössbauer Spectroscopy experiments for a variety of AFe4X2. We focus on the ZrFe4Si2 compound, where we observe electronic spin fluctuations already at 100 K whereas long-range magnetic order sets in only below 10 K.
