摘要

At ambient pressure, CrAs undergoes a first-order transition into a double-helical magnetic state at T N = 265 K , which is accompanied by a structural transition. The recent discovery of pressure-induced superconductivity in CrAs makes it important to clarify the nature of quantum phase transitions out of the coupled structural/helimagnetic order in this system. Here, we show, via neutron diffraction on the single-crystal CrAs under hydrostatic pressure ( P ), that the combined order is suppressed at P c ≈ 10 kbar , near which bulk superconductivity develops with a maximal transition temperature T c ≈ 2 K . We further show that the coupled order is also completely suppressed by phosphorus doping in CrAs 1 ? x P x at a critical x c ≈ 0.05 , above which inelastic neutron scattering evidenced persistent antiferromagnetic correlations, providing a possible link between magnetism and superconductivity. In line with the presence of antiferromagnetic fluctuations near P c ( x c ) , the A coefficient of the quadratic temperature dependence of resistivity exhibits a dramatic enhancement as P ( x ) approaches P c ( x c ) , around which ρ ( T ) has a non-Fermi-liquid form. Accordingly, the electronic specific-heat coefficient of CrAs 1 ? x P x peaks around x c . These properties provide clear evidence for quantum criticality, which we interpret as originating from a nearly second-order helimagnetic quantum phase transition that is concomitant with a first-order structural transition. Our findings in CrAs highlight the distinct characteristics of quantum criticality in bad metals, thereby bringing out new insights into the physics of unconventional superconductivity such as those occurring in the high- T c iron pnictides.
