Abstract
Employing the time differential perturbed angular distribution (TDPAD) method we have studied the temperature dependence of the magnetic hyperfine field, Bhf for 66Ga in 122 type pnictides, XFe2As2 (X = Ca and Sr). The saturation hyperfine field, Bhf(0) of Ga in Ca(Sr)Fe2As2 have been observed to be 16.2kG and 22kG respectively. Scaled by the hyperfine field of 66Ga in ferromagnetic elements Fe, Co and Ni, our Bhf(0) data indicate small local moments on Fe, consistent with itinerant type magnetism of these materials. The observed temperature dependence of the hyperfine field data suggests second order type magnetic phase transition with a critical exponent β≈0.22(3) indicating quasi-two dimensional magnetic ordering, possibly due to canting of Fe moments out of the ab plane.
