Abstract

We report 75As nuclear magnetic resonance studies on an underdoped single-crystal Ba0.77K0.23Fe2As2 with Tc=16.5 K. Below TN=46 K, the NMR peaks for H∥c split and those for H∥a shift to higher frequencies, which indicates that an internal magnetic field along the c axis develops below TN. The spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 measured at the shifted peak with H∥a, which experiences the internal field, shows a distinct decrease below Tc(μ0H=12T)=16 K, following a T3 relation at low temperatures. Our results show unambiguously that antiferromagnetic order and superconductivity coexist microscopically. The unusual superconducting state with the coexisting magnetism is highlighted.
