Description

We report 75As Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) measurements in the high-Tc superconductor (Ba1-xKx)Fe2As2 in the underdoped regime. A structural transition at Ts ≅ 110 K is followed by an antiferromagnetic (AFM) order at TN ≅ 102 K for our x = 0.16 single crystal. Superconductivity (SC) also appears at Tc ≅ 20 K. We find that the ordered Fe moment (S) is reduced upon hole-doping. Both spectrum analysis and relaxation measurements indicate that pinned vortices are present below Tc and SC is coexisting with AFM fluctuations.
