Abstract
Superconductivity arises in the layered iron-pnictide compounds when magnetic long-range order disappears. We use first-principles density-functional methods to study magnetic arrangements that may compete with long-range order near the phase boundary. Specifically, we study the energetics and charge-density distribution (through calculation of the electric field gradients) for ordered supercells with varying densities of antiphase magnetic boundaries. We quantify the amount by which Fe atoms with low-spin moments at the antiphase boundaries have higher energies than Fe atoms with high-spin moments away from the antiphase boundaries. These disruptions in magnetic order should be useful in accounting for experimental data such as electric field gradients and hyperfine fields on both Fe and As atoms.
