Abstract

We report on muon-spin rotation and relaxation (μSR), electrical resistivity, magnetization and differential scanning calorimetry measurements performed on a high-quality single crystal of Cs0.8(FeSe0.98)2. Whereas our transport and magnetization data confirm the bulk character of the superconducting state below Tc=29.6(2) K, the μSR data indicate that the system is magnetic below TN=478.5(3) K, where a first-order transition occurs. The first-order character of the magnetic transition is confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry data. Taken all together, these data indicate in Cs0.8(FeSe0.98)2 a microscopic coexistence between the superconducting phase and a strong magnetic phase. The observed TN is the highest reported to date for a magnetic superconductor.
