The magnetic and superconducting properties of a series of underdoped Ba 1 − x Na x Fe 2 As 2 (BNFA) single crystals with 0.19 ≤ x ≤ 0.34 have been investigated with the complementary muon-spin-rotation ( μ SR ) and infrared spectroscopy techniques. The focus has been on the different antiferromagnetic states in the underdoped regime and their competition with superconductivity,...

With infrared spectroscopy we investigated the spin-reorientation transition from an orthorhombic antiferromagnetic (o-AF) to a tetragonal AF (t-AF) phase and the reentrance of the o-AF phase in the superconducting state of underdoped Ba1−xKxFe2As2. In agreement with the predicted transition from a single-Q to a double-Q AF structure, we found that a distinct spin density wave develops in the...
