Iron-pnictides are a novel class of superconductors displaying a close relation between structure, superconductivity and magnetism. Most parent compounds exhibit a coupled structural and magnetic transition that becomes suppressed upon doping. Here we present our neutron scattering studies on Ba_1−xNa_xFe₂As₂ which differs from the other systems: At intermediate Na concentrations we find clear evidence for a spin reorientation from in-plane to out-of-plane alignment of the ordered moments. The low-temperature phase with c-aligned moments is unique in this system but it qualitatively agrees with the single-ion anisotropy in pure BaFe₂As₂ where it costs less energy to rotate spins from the plane to the c direction than rotating them within the plane. In addition we find a sharp resonance feature in Ba_1−xNa_xFe₂As₂ at low energy and a broader upturn in intensity at energies comparable to those of the resonance values in Co or Ni doped compounds.
