Abstract

We have studied the magnetism in superconducting single crystals of EuFe₂As_1.4P_0.6 by using the local probe techniques of zero-field muon spin rotation/relaxation and ¹⁵¹Eu/ ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. All of these measurements reveal magnetic hyperfine fields below the magnetic ordering temperature ^TM=18K of the Eu²⁺ moments. The analysis of the data shows that there is a coexistence of antiferromagnetism, resulting from Eu ²⁺ moments ordered along the crystallographic c-axis, and superconductivity below ^TSC≈ 10 K. We find indications for a change in the dynamics of the small Fe magnetic moments (∼0.07 ^μB) at T^*≲15K that may be triggering the onset of superconductivity: below T^* the Fe magnetic moments seem to be "frozen" within the ab-plane.
