Impurity substitution effect on Dirac cone in Ba(FeAs)$_2$ studied by magnetoresistance
ORAL
Abstract
In iron pnictide superconductors, the three dimensional Dirac cones (DCs) are created as a node of spin-density-wave gap [1]. Due to the pseudospin chirality, these DCs are robust for both nonmagnetic and magnetic impurities. Here we report Ru and Mn substitution effects on DCs in Ba(FeAs)$_{2}$ studied by magnetoresistance [2]. We assume that Ru is the nonmagnetic impurity while Mn is the magnetic one due to the stability of the Mn$^{\mathrm{2+}}$(3d$^{5})$ state. A linear magnetoresistance (LMR) against magnetic field (B) was observed above the certain magnetic field strength of B* for both cases. LMR in Ba(Fe$_{\mathrm{1-x}}$Ru$_{\mathrm{x}}$As)$_{2}$ is consistent with the quantum limit of DC [3,4]. Temperature (T) dependence of B* deviated from the theoretical model at low T for Ba(Fe$_{\mathrm{1-x}}$Mn$_{\mathrm{x}}$As)$_{2}$. This can be understood in term of the decrease of Fermi velocity of DCs, being associated with the magnetic scattering effect on DCs. [1] Y. Ran et al., Phys. Rev. B 79, 014505 (2009).[2]Y.
