Phase diagram of Ca(Fe1-xCox)2As2

Description

We report on magnetic and thermodynamic measurements on Ca(Fe1-xCox)22As2(0≤x≤0.2) single crystals grown from Sn-flux. Upon Co substitution, the first-order structural/magnetic phase transition of CaFe2As2 is split and shifted to lower temperatures. Simultaneously, superconductivity evolves at low T. The superconducting volume fraction depends sensitively on the Co content and reaches 100 % only above the optimum doping level of x∝0.065, as the magnetic and structural transitions are completely suppressed. We discuss the phase diagram of Ca(Fe1-xCox)2As2 in consideration of recent investigations of CaFe2As2 under pressure, which revealed a sensitive pressure dependence of the structural/magnetic phase transitions and a Tc as high as 10 K at 3.5 kbar.
