The iron pnictide BaFe₂As₂ (Ba122) exhibits superconductivity either by carrier doping, chemical pressure, strain or external pressure. The key parameter for controlling the phase diagram of Ba122 is still under debate.

In order to investigate the driving factor of superconductivity in more detail we prepared thin Ba122 films with different ruthenium doping levels on single-crystal substrates using pulsed laser deposition. Structural investigations were carried out using θ-2θ x-ray diffraction and texture measurements revealing an epitaxial growth of the thin films. Electronic transport and SQUID-susceptibility measurements were performed to determine the electronic phase diagram. The results will be discussed in comparison to published phase diagrams for bulk materials.
