Abstract

We use As75 nuclear magnetic resonance to investigate the local electronic properties of Ba(Fe1−xRux)2As2 (x=0.23). We find two phase transitions: to antiferromagnetism at TN≈60 K and to superconductivity at TC≈15 K. Below TN, our data show that the system is fully magnetic, with a commensurate antiferromagnetic structure and a moment of 0.4μB/Fe. The spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T175 is large in the magnetic state, indicating a high density of itinerant electrons induced by Ru doping. On cooling below TC, 1/T175 on the magnetic sites falls sharply, providing unambiguous evidence for the microscopic coexistence of antiferromagnetism and superconductivity.
