Abstract

75As NMR experiments were performed in Ba(Fe1−xRux)2As2 for x = 0%–80%. Magnetic fractions and NMR line shapes demonstrate that Ru substitution destroys the antiferromagnetic (AF) order inhomogeneously with a magnetic moment distributed from 0.9μB to 0μB. Superconductivity emerges at intermediate Ru doping and coexists with AF order only in the regions where moments are smaller than ∼0.3μB, resulting in an original nanoscale texture. This situation contrasts with that of Co substitution, challenging the apparent universality of the phase diagram in Fe-based superconductors.
