Abstract

In this paper, we report the time differential perturbed angular distribution measurements of 54 Fe on a polycrystalline EuFe 2 As 2 and Eu 0.5 K 0.5 Fe 2 As 2. The hyperfine field and nuclear spin-relaxation rate are strongly temperature dependent in the paramagnetic state suggesting strong spin fluctuation in the parent compound. The local susceptibility show Curie–Weiss-like temperature dependence and Korringa-like relaxation in the tetragonal phase indicating the presence of local moment. In the orthorhombic phase, the hyperfine field behavior suggesting quasi two-dimensional magnetic ordering. The experimental results are in a good agreement with first-principle calculations based on density functional theory.
