Abstract

The interplay between superconductivity and Eu2+ magnetic moments in EuFe2(As1−xPx)2 is studied with electrical resistivity measurements under hydrostatic pressure on x=0.13 and x=0.18 single crystals. We can map hydrostatic pressure to chemical pressure x and show that superconductivity is confined to a very narrow range 0.18≤x≤0.23 in the phase diagram, beyond which ferromagnetic (FM) Eu ordering suppresses superconductivity. The change from antiferro- to FM Eu ordering at the latter concentration coincides with a Lifshitz transition and the complete depression of iron magnetic order.
