Abstract
Applying the γ-ray perturbed angular distribution technique we have measured the magnetic hyperfine field and spin relaxation time of recoil implanted 54Fe in single and polycrystalline CaFe2As2 over the temperature range 20–360K, encompassing both tetragonal and orthorhombic structural phases of the material. The magnetic response of Fe in the high temperature tetragonal phase (T⩾180K), show Curie–Weiss type local susceptibility and Korringa like spin relaxation, reflecting the presence of localized moment on Fe. In the orthorhombic phase, the spin rotation spectra of 54Fe show two magnetic hyperfine field components, both exhibiting quasi two dimensional magnetic ordering. The experimentally measured hyperfine field and Fe moment show good agreement with results obtained from ab initio calculations performed within the frame work of local spin density approximation (LSDA).
