We present a detailed investigation of the electronic properties of CeFeAsO under in-plane chemical (As by P substitution) and hydrostatic pressure by means of in-house and synchrotron Mössbauer
spectroscopy. The Fe magnetism is suppressed due to both pressures and no magnetic order was
observed above a P-substitution level of 40 % or 5.2 GPa hydrostatic pressure. We compared both
pressures and found that the isovalent As by P substitution change the crystallographic and electronic properties differently than hydrostatic pressure.

INTRODUCTION
The parent compounds of the 122 and 1111 families of
the iron-based superconductors show spin density wave
(SDW) order below the magnetic transition temperature
T N .1,2 By changing a non-temperature control parameter
the SDW order can be suppressed. These control parameters can be classified in the following way: i) electron
doping (Fe→Co,3,4 O→F5 ), ii) hole doping (Ca→Na,6
Ba→K7 ), iii) isovalent substitution (As→P8–10 ), and iv)
external pressure.11–13 Both electron and hole doping
change the amount of conduction electrons. The nominal valence electron count remains constant in the case
of isovalent substitution and external pressure.
The isovalent substitution of a larger by a smaller
atom, e. g. As → P or La → Pr → Nd → Sm, results
in chemical pressure. The resulting question is: what are
the differences between chemical and hydrostatic pressure? It was shown that both methods of achieving
pressures result in a similar suppression of the magnetic
order.11,13–24 The chemical substitution can be applied
either in the FeAs-plane (in-plane) or in the rare earth-O
plane (out-of-plane). Studies in the isostructural compound LaCoPO have shown that isovalent out-of-plane
substitution (La substituted by Pr, Nd, and Sm) and
hydrostatic pressure equally change the magnetic properties of the system.22–24 Complementary we will focus
on in-plane chemical substitution: As by P.
The CeFeAsO system is of particular interest due to
the interaction of the Fe 3d and Ce 4f electrons. CeFeAsO shows spin density wave order of the Fe 3d electrons below ∼ 145 K and antiferromagnetic order of the
Ce 4f electrons below ∼ 3.7 GPa.25 A strong Ce-Fe coupling at temperatures much higher than the Ce magnetic
ordering temperature was found.26 Upon P substitution
the Fe magnetic order is suppressed and no Fe magnetic
order was observed for x ≥ 37 %.25,27 In contrast, the Ce
magnetic ordering temperature remains constant for x <
30 %.25 For x ≥ 30 % the Ce magnetic order changes from
antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic.25 Superconductivity
was observed for x ∼ 30 %.25 Resistivity measurements
have shown the absence of superconductivity in CeFeAsO
up to 50 GPa.28 The application of hydrostatic pressure
on P substituted samples indicated that hydrostatic pressure and P substitution change the electronic structure
differently.29 However, to resolve the microscopic changes
in the magnetic structure a local probe is needed.
We studied the electronic hyperfine parameters as
a function of P substitution and hydrostatic pressure
in CeFeAsO by means of in-house and synchrotron
Mössbauer spectroscopy as well as x-ray diffraction. A
quantitatively different behavior for P substitution and
hydrostatic pressure was found.
The work is organized in the following way: the experimental details will be presented in Sec. II and the
obtained results in Sec. III and IV. The discussion of
our results is given in Sec. V followed by a summary and
conclusion in Sec. VI.

Single crystals of CeFeAsO were investigated via timedomain synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy (SMS), also
known as nuclear forward scattering, at the beamline
3ID-B of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory, USA. The experiments were
performed in the hybrid operation mode which allows
the high precision measurement of hyperfine interactions
by offering a time window for data collection of 1.5 µs.
The incident beam was linearly polarized. The single
crystals were enriched to an abundance of 10 % 57 Fe.
They were grown similar to LaFeAsO32 and characterized by energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy and x-ray
diffraction (XRD). SMS spectra were recorded at temperatures between 10 and 150 K and at pressures between 0.5 and 14 GPa using a special He-flow miniature
cryostat and a diamond anvil cell.33,34 For pressures up
to 6 GPa diamond anvils with 800 µm culet size and
for higher pressures diamond anvils with 500 µm culet
size were used. Pressures were changed at low temperatures through a gas membrane. The pressure was measured in situ by an online ruby system. A Re gasket
was pre-indented to a thickness of 80 µm (140 µm) and
a 250 µm (400 µm) hole was electro-sparked to act as
the sample chamber for the 500 µm (800 µm) diamond
anvils. As the pressure transmitting medium Ne and a
4:1 mixture of Methanol and Ethanol were used to ensure hydrostaticity. The uncertainty in the pressure determination is 0.1 GPa if not stated otherwise. Single
crystals of 50×50×45 µm3 and 130×130×25 µm3 for the
500 µm and 800 µm diamond anvils were used, respectively. The single crystals were aligned with the crystallographic ab-axis perpendicular to the incident beam.
The beam size was 10×15 µm2 (FWHM). The SMS spectra were analyzed using the CONUSS software.35 Both
Mössfit and CONUSS exactly diagonalize the hyperfine
Hamiltonian taking into account both electric and magnetic hyperfine interactions. For the former the transmission integral formalism and for the latter the thin absorber approximation was used. XRD experiments were
conducted at the 13BM-C beamline of the APS using
CeFeAsO-powder at room temperature.36 X-rays with
a wavelength of 0.434 Å, a Re gasket as described earlier and Daphne oil 7575 as the pressure transmitting
medium were used. The x-ray diffraction patterns were

FIG. 1. Unit cell volume at room temperature as a function
of applied pressure p (black square) and the P-substitution
level x (red star, taken from Ref.39 ). 100 % P-substitution
(CeFeAsO → CeFePO) reduces the unit cell volume similar
to the application of 6 GPa hydrostatic pressure.
To compare the structural effects of P substitution and
external pressure XRD measurements up to 5.3 GPa at
room temperature using a CeFeAsO powder sample were
performed. The unit cell volumes of the by Mössbauer
spectroscopy investigated P-substitution levels as well
as at the applied pressure points are summarized in
Tab. I. The resulting unit cell volumes and c/a ratios are shown in Fig. 1 together with published data on
CeFeAs1−x Px O for comparison.39 At room temperature
and ambient pressure CeFeAsO crystallizes in a tetragonal structure with the space group P 4/nmm.40 No indications for structural transitions up to 5.3 GPa and that
the c/a ratio is more reduced in the case of hydrostatic
pressure than upon P substitution were found. By comparing the unit cell volumes it was found that 100 % Psubstitution (CeFeAsO → CeFePO) has the same effect
as the application of 6 GPa hydrostatic pressure.
Atomic distances and block sizes are shown in Fig. 2.
The Ce-O-Ce as well as the As-Fe-As block size are pressure independent. Both the Fe-As and Ce-As distances
are reduced with increasing hydrostatic pressure. Therefore the reduction in the unit cell volume is achieved by
reducing the distance between the Ce-O-Ce and As-FeAs blocks. In contrast the unit cell compression due to
the P-substitution is caused by a compression of the AsFe-As layer.27

MÖSSBAUER SPECTROSCOPY RESULTS
Mössbauer spectra of CeFeAs1−x Px O in the paramagnetic and magnetically ordered phase are shown in Fig. 3.
In the paramagnetic phase an asymmetric doublet structure is observed which is most pronounced for x ≤ 30 %.
For powder samples one would expect a symmetric spectrum as the angle between the incident γ and the principal axis of the electric field gradient (EFG) is averaged
out. The asymmetric paramagnetic spectra indicate that
the samples consists of tiny polycrystalline platelets instead of powder in accordance with the plate-like crystal
habit. As a consequence the angle between the incident
γ and the principal axis of the EFG is not averaged out
resulting in an asymmetric doublet. The magnetically
ordered phase is characterized by a sextet structure for x
≤ 22 % while for x = 30 and 35 % a broadening and a
symmetrization of the spectra was observed.
SMS spectra in the paramagnetic and magnetically ordered phase for various pressures are shown in Fig. 4. In
the paramagnetic phase no oscillations in the time spectra were observed up to pressures of 14 GPa. The magnetically ordered phase is characterized by many oscillations with additional wiggles due to the angle between
In the principal axis system, the EFG is fully determined by its z component V zz and the asymmetry
parameter η. The latter is zero due to the tetragonal
symmetry of the crystallographic structure in the paramagnetic phase. In the magnetically ordered phase no
non-zero η was observed which is consistent with the absence of an orthorhombic distortion.25 Neutron scattering experiments report an orthorhombicity of 0.5 % for
CeFeAsO which is suppressed due to P substitution.27
However, the changes in the EFG due to the orthorhombic distortion are below the resolution limit of our
method.
In Mössbauer spectroscopy an energy shift, the socalled quadrupole splitting QS, due to the interaction
of the Fe nucleus with an EFG rather than V zz itself is
measured. From the QS the electric field gradient V zz
at the Fe nucleus can be deduced. Here both QS in mm/s
and V zz in V/Å2 are provided. The conversion factor is
1 V/Å2 = 0.0167 mm/s which corresponds to a nuclear
quadrupole moment of Fe of 160 mb.41,42 At this point
we want to emphasize that in the paramagnetic phase
only the absolute value of V zz is obtained. However, it
was shown that in the LaFeAsO-based compounds V zz is
positive.43,44 In the magnetic phase a positive V zz value
was obtained and thus we are confident that this is also
the case in the paramagnetic phase of the CeFeAsO series.
Experimentally determined V zz values at various temperature regions between 2 and room temperature are
shown in Fig. 5. At room temperature V zz is close
to zero for CeFeAsO indicating a nearly spherical electron distribution around the Fe nucleus. V zz shows a
parabolic behavior as a function of x with a maximum at
intermediate x. The V zz values of CeFeAsO and CeFePO
are equal to formerly reported data.45,46
For x ≤ 22 %, V zz increases by ≈ 2V/Å2 between
room temperature and the onset temperature of the magnetic order, T onset
. This increase of V zz inside the paraN
magnetic phase as a function of temperature is likely a
steric effect such as a change in the c/a ratio or the anion
height.
At T onset
, which we define as the highest temperature
N
with a non-zero magnetic volume fraction, V zz jumps
from 2(1) V/Å2 to 7(1) V/Å2 for x = 0 and 5 % and
from 12.0(5) V/Å2 to 14.0(5) V/Å2 for x = 15 and 22
%, respectively. This indicates a change of the electron
distribution and hence of V zz due to the magnetic phase
transition.
In the magnetically ordered phase V zz remains constant within error bars down to lowest measured temperatures. The increase in V zz at the magnetic phase transition is suppressed similar to the reduction of T onset
and

ence of the Ce magnetic order on V zz has been observed
similar to the unsubstituted compound.45 For x ≥ 30 %
V zz increases upon cooling and saturates below 100 K.
The SMS spectra in the paramagnetic phase show no
oscillations up to 330 ns. This gives an upper boundary
for the absolute value of the quadrupole splitting of ∼ 0.1
mm/s (6 V/Å2 ). Analyzing the spectra gives a value of
< 0.01 mm/s (0.6 V/Å2 ) at 1 GPa which is similar to the
V zz values within error bars at ambient conditions. By
increasing the external pressure, V zz increases to 0.08(1)
mm/s at 7 GPa and 0.11(1) mm/s at 14 GPa with both
values obtained at 15 K.
In the magnetically ordered phase, the quadrupole
splitting jumps to 0.08(2) mm/s (4.8(1.2) V/Å2 ) and
stays constant within error bars down to lowest temperatures.

temperature with a magnetic volume fraction of 100 %)
increases from ≈ 10 K for x ≤ 5 % to 60(10) K for x = 15
and 22 %. For x = 30 and 35 % no magnetic volume fraction was extracted as the obtained magnetic hyperfine
fields are too small to distinguish between a) a smaller
hyperfine field and 100 % magnetic volume fraction or
b) a slightly larger hyperfine field and a magnetic volume fraction of < 100 %, in particular as V zz shows no
measurable between the paramagnetic and magnetically
ordered phase (in contrast to x ≤ 22 %). As a consequence, the magnetic volume fraction was set to 100 %
in the magnetically ordered phase. This may influence
the analysis close to the phase transition temperature
but the low-temperature behavior and therefore the saturated magnetic hyperfine field is unaffected.

while for 5.1 GPa a pure paramagnetic signal at lowest
measured temperature was observed. Note that the given
pressure values are determined at the ruby position with
an uncertainty in the pressure determination of 0.1 GPa.

at temperatures above the magnetic Ce ordering. The
results are shown in Tab. II.
Both the onset of the magnetic order as well as the
saturated magnetic hyperfine field at lowest temperatures
are continuously suppressed as a function of x. For x =
40 % no magnetic order was observed which is consistent
with results from other methods.25,27,47 For x = 5 %
an increase of the magnetic hyperfine field from 5.40(2)
above 4 K to 5.95(8) T below 4 K is observed due to the
antiferromagnetic ordering of the Ce 4f electrons.25 This
transferred magnetic hyperfine field was also observed in
the unsubstituted compound CeFeAsO where an increase
by 0.9 T was measured.26,45,48 Increasing x to 15 % or
above leads to a full suppression of this transfer.

The saturated magnetic hyperfine field is suppressed

reduced by ∼ 24 % followed by an abrupt suppression to
zero. Between 5.2 and 14 GPa no magnetic order was
found down to 16 K.

DISCUSSION
To reveal the differences in the electronic structure between hydrostatic pressure and P substitution, following
Ref.51 , the obtained electronic hyperfine parameters as a
function of the unit cell volume are compared. The relation between the unit cell volume and x and p is shown
in Fig. 1.
In the paramagnetic phase CeFeAsO has a V zz of close
to zero indicating a nearly spherical charge distribution
around the Fe nucleus while CeFePO has a V zz of 9.3(2)
V/Å2 indicating a deviation from a spherical charge distribution. This is consistent with reported results from
neutron scattering experiments.27 They found a continuous reduction of the size of the Pn-Fe-Pn block, with
Pn = As/P, as well as a continuous reduction of the FePn distance. As a consequence the Fe-Pn-Fe tetrahedra
angle increases from ∼ 112.2◦ to ∼ 114.6◦ for x = 0 and

43 %, respectively. Thus the angle continuously deviates from the ideal value of 109.47◦ with increasing x.
This continuous change in the FePn block properties explains the increase in V zz from CeFeAsO to CeFePO
but cannot explain the maximum at intermediate x. We
attribute this maximum to the disorder induced by the
substitution which is expected to be strongest at x ∼ 50
%.
In contrast, the value of V zz in the paramagnetic
phase increases only slightly and monotonically as a function of hydrostatic pressure. This indicates a slight deviation from the spherical charge distribution around the
Fe nucleus with increasing pressure. As it was shown
in Fig. 2 the As-Fe-As layer remains robust against the
application of hydrostatic pressure. Reported high temperature Fe-As-Fe angles for CeFeAsO are 112.6(1)◦.49,52
A minor reduction of the Fe-As-Fe angle to ∼ 112.2◦ at
5.3 GPa was observed. Due to the tetragonal symmetry a reduction of the Fe-As distance will not increase
V zz . The crystallographic parameters which are significantly changing in the investigated pressure region are
the c/a ratio and the Ce-As distance and thus the As-FeAs and Ce-O-Ce block distance. However, both crystallographic parameters are expected to have only a minor
influence on V zz , in contrast to the As-Fe-As block size
in the P-substituted compound.27 Eventually the only
small increase of V zz reflects the robustness of the AsFe-As layer against hydrostatic pressure and the only minor changes in the Fe-As-Fe angle.
At the magnetic phase transition temperature V zz
abruptly increases and remains constant within error
bars down to lowest temperatures. It was found that
V zz remains constant within error bars in the magnetic
phase at all investigated pressures. The abrupt increase
in V zz at the magnetic phase transition is suppressed
with increasing external pressure similar to the magnetic
hyperfine field. For CeFeAsO a splitting in temperature
between the structural and magnetic phase transition was
reported.27,30 No change in V zz at the structural phase
transition was observed. For comparison: in FeSe, where
a tetragonal-to-orthorhombic phase transition without a
coinciding magnetic order occurs, similarly no change in
V zz was observed.53 This indicates that the magnetic
phase transition causes a redistribution of the electronic
charge and hence changes V zz while the changes due to
the structural phase transition are negligible. This result
also explains why the abrupt increase of V zz at the magnetic phase transition and the magnetic hyperfine field
are equally suppressed.

shows qualitatively similar behavior for increasN

ously reduced until x ∼ 30 % and p ∼ 4.5 GPa followed
by a sharp suppression to zero at x ∼ 40 % and p ∼
5.2 GPa. No magnetic order was observed at higher values. For the P substitution series it is consistent with
neutron scattering experiments where no magnetic order
was found at x ∼ 37 %.27 The phase transition region

tribute this to the fact that the P substitution results in
local P distributions and hence a distribution of magnetic
ordering temperatures. In contrast ∆T remains constant
within error bars for all applied pressures. This supports
that the increase in ∆T is caused by the disorder due to
the P substitution.
The temperature dependence of the magnetic hyperfine field was analyzed using Eq. 1. A second-order phase
transition in the magnetic hyperfine field for all investigated pressures and P-substitution levels was found consistent with published results for CeFeAsO.30 A critical
exponent βc of 0.17(1) was obtained in CeFeAsO. Both
the application of pressure and P substitution result in
a reduction of βc in direction of the two-dimensional
Ising universality class (βc = 0.125). This behavior indicates an increase of the two-dimensionality of the magnetic order. Published Mössbauer data suggest that
the critical exponent of the magnetic hyperfine field
is of similar value in LaFeAsO (0.2(1)) and PrFeAsO
(0.19(2)).45 A 2D Ising critical exponent was also found
in BaFe2 As2 ,54,55 SrFe2 As2 ,56 Ba0.75 Na0.25 Fe2 As2 ,57 and
Ca0.65 Na0.35 Fe2 As2 .6 The reduction in βc and therefore
in the dimensionality due to chemical pressure was also
observed in Ca1−x Nax Fe2 As2 where a crossover from
three- to two-dimensional Ising behavior from 50 % to
30 % Na-substitution level was found.6
The low-temperature saturated magnetic hyperfine
field (above the Ce ordering temperature) as a function
of x and p is shown in Fig. 11. It is continuously reduced
to zero with increasing x. This behavior as a function
of x is similar to that of the Fe magnetic moment and
orthorhombicity.27 In contrast, the saturated magnetic
hyperfine field is reduced by 24 % between 0 and 4.5
GPa followed by an abrupt suppression to zero above 5.2
GPa showing a behavior similar to T onset

The black cirlce data point was taken at 70 K and 0.6 GPa. P
substitution results in a continuously suppression of the magnetic hyperfine field to zero at x = 40 %. In contrast, the
application of hydrostatic pressure results in a reduction of
the magnetic hyperfine field by 24 % at 4.5 GPa followed by
an abrupt reduction to zero at 5.2 GPa. For the conversion

tional to the Fe-As distance and vanishes for distances
smaller than 2.36 Å.27,59,60 The Fe magnetic moment is
not directly accessible by Mössbauer spectroscopy which
measures the magnetic hyperfine field. Theoretical calculations on BaFe2 As2 have shown that the conversion factor between the Fe magnetic moment and the magnetic
hyperfine field changes with chemical substitution.61 The
changes in the conversion factor are severe for electron
and hole doping but are below 3 % for P substitution.61
Unfortunately no calculations for hydrostatic pressure
were performed but it is more likely that the conversion factor exhibits only minor changes in the case of
hydrostatic pressure.61 Therefore the conversion factor
between Fe magnetic moment and magnetic hyperfine
field is treated as constant in our work. The saturated
low-temperature magnetic hyperfine field as a function of
the Fe-As distance is shown in Fig. 12.
At this point we want to emphasize that our XRD measurements were conducted at room temperature while the
reported neutron scattering data was obtained at 1.8 to 8
K.27 However, the Fe-As distance is nearly temperature
independent with changes below 0.002 Å between room
temperature52 and 1.8 K49 in CeFeAsO and therefore we
assume that this also the case in the P-substituted compounds and under hydrostatic pressure.27 The Fe-As distance continuously decreases below the threshold value
2.36 Å for x ∼ 37 %.27 The reduction of the magnetic
hyperfine field as a function of applied hydrostatic pressure shows the qualitatively same behavior above 2.38
Å. This result supports that the Fe magnetic moment
is somewhat proportional to the Fe-P n distance which
determines the hybridization strength of the Fe 3d and
magnetic hyperfine field (T)

P n p electrons. The observation of a purely paramagnetic phase at 5.3 GPa with a Fe-As distance of ∼ 2.38
Å implies that the dp hybridization is not the only mechanism controlling the Fe magnetic moment. This is supported by measurements in CeFeAsO1−y Fy where a reduction of the magnetic moment to zero with increasing
F-substitution level while having a nearly constant FeAs distance of ∼ 2.405 Å was observed.49,58 That the
Fe-As-Fe angle increases with increasing x but decreases
with increasing p may also play a role. Additionally, the
strong suppression to zero occurs between 4.5 and 5.2
GPa. In this pressure region a maximum in the magnetic
phase transition temperature of the Ce 4f electrons was
reported.28 In CeFeAs0.78 P0.22 it was observed that the
Ce 4f magnetic ordering temperature has a maximum at
1.95 GPa where the magnetic order changes from antito ferromagnetic.29 The resulting question is if the antito ferromagnetic transition also occurs in CeFeAsO between 4.5 and 5.2 GP and if the Ce ferromagnetic order
strongly suppresses the Fe magnetic order.
To derive an explanation of our obtained results
we want to compare them with results from densityfunctional theory (DFT) in the La-1111 compounds and
add the additional Ce 4f component later. Comparing
LaFeAsO and LaFePO at ambient pressure shows that
the Fermi surfaces (FS) are comparable with three hole
pockets at Γ and two electron pockets at M.62,63 The
states at the Fermi level are mostly of Fe 3d character.64
The difference is that one of the hole pockets is of 2D
character in LaFeAsO and of 3D character LaFePO. This
indicates better nesting in LaFeAsO and hence magnetic
ordering than in LaFePO. It was shown that the FS topology is sensitive to the local Fe-Pn arrangement, namely
the Fe-Pn distance and the corresponding tetrahedra
angle.62,65 This sensitivity is due to the hybridization of
the Fe 3d and Pn p states.62 Our experiments as well as
10
published results show that the FePn distance decreases
with increasing pressure66 and As→P substitution27,67 in
1111 compounds. An decreased FePn distance results in
an enhanced FePn hybridization.62
DFT calculations in the paramagnetic state found that
the density of states (DOS) at the Fermi level is smaller
for LaFePO than for LaFeAsO.64 DFT calculations on
LaFeAsO under pressure in the magnetically order phase
show that the FS topology is rather robust which implies that the nesting condition remains intact.68 In this
study it was also found that the DOS at the Fermi
level decreases with increasing pressure in LaFeAsO.68
This is consistent with the observation that the DOS
at Fermi level is somewhat proportional to magnitude
of the magnetic order parameter.69–71 In summary DFT
calculations in LaFeAsO indicate that As→P substitution changes the dimensionality of one hole pocket from
2D to 3D and thus weakens the nesting properties while
the FS remains robust under the application of pressure.
This is consistent with observations in BaFe2 (As1−x Px )2
that the isovalent substitution changes the FS similar to
charge doping.72 This explains the differences in the magnetic properties on a qualitative level if it is taken into
account that the application of ≈ 8 GPa in LaFeAsO has
the same effect on the unit cell volume as the transition
from LaFeAsO to LaFePO with the former showing magnetic order and the latter being paramagnetic.
Replacing La by Ce and thus adding one 4f electron
the discussion follows the same arguments. Published
calculations in the paramagnetic state used DFT + dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) to account for the
additional 4f correlations.73 Similar to the La-1111 compounds the DOS at the Fermi level is mostly of Fe 3d
character.73 It was found that CeFePO has a smaller
DOS at the Fermi level than CeFeAsO.73 An applied
pressure of ∼ 5 GPa on CeFeAsO yields the same DOS at
the Fermi level as CeFePO.73 In addition the hybridization of the Fe 3d and Ce 4f states in CeFeAsO is much
smaller than in CeFePO.73 This is consistent with angleresolved photo emission spectroscopy measurements in
the P-substitution series where a change in the FS and
an increase in the 3d -4f hybridization from x = 30 to
100 % was observed.74,75 The application of ∼ 10 GPa on
CeFeAsO results in a hybridization similar to CeFePO.
The transferred magnetic hyperfine field due to the
magnetic order of the Ce 4f electrons is reduced from x
= 0 to 5 % and was not observed for 15 % and higher
x. This implies that the ordered moment of the Ce 4f
electrons is strongly reduced as a function of x. This is
consistent with reported results that the Ce 4f ordering temperature is independent from x but the ordered
moment is rapidly suppressed with increased x.27
The x dependence of the chemical shift is shown in the
inset of Fig. 9 and in Tab. III. A reduction of the chemical shift δc with increasing x was found. A reduction in
δc corresponds to an increase in the electron density at
the Fe nucleus. It was reported that the Fe-Pn distance
decreases with increasing x.27 This may increase the hy-
bridization of the Fe 3d and Pn p valence electrons.59,65
The hybridization of the Fe 3d with the Ce 4f electrons
as it was observed in CeFePO may also play a role.74,75
As a consequence the shielding of the Fe 4s electrons by
the Fe 3d is reduced resulting in an increased electron
density at the nucleus.
VI.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
In summary, we performed in-house and synchrotron
Mössbauer spectroscopy experiments on CeFeAs1−x Px O
powder and on CeFeAsO single crystals, the latter under
hydrostatic pressure and provide an updated microscopical phase diagrams in combination with XRD measurements. A qualitatively similar suppression of the onset
temperature of the Fe magnetic order as a function of x
and p was found. In contrast, the low-temperature saturated magnetic hyperfine field is continuously suppressed
to zero at x = 40 % while it is reduced by 24 % between 0 and 4.5 GPa followed by an abrupt suppression
to zero. Above x = 40 % and p = 5.2 GPa no Fe magnetic
order was observed. It was found that he magnetic hyperfine field is proportional to the Fe-As distance above
2.38 Å for both hydrostatic pressure and P substitution.
The observation of a paramagnetic phase for a Fe-As distance of 2.38 Å which is above the threshold value of
2.36 Å implies that the magnetic moment is not only
controlled by the dp hybridization. Our study suggests
that the size of the Fe magnetic moment is the result of
a delicate interplay of the Fe 3d, P n p, and Ce 4f electrons and goes beyond the Fe 3d - P n p hybridization.
We conclude that hydrostatic pressure change both the
crystallographic and electronic properties of the system
differently than P substitution.
