【 摘 要 】
Magnetization, neutron diffraction, and high-energy x-ray diffraction results for Sn-flux grown single-crystal samples of Ca(Co1-xFex)(y)As-2, 0 <= x <= 1, 1.86 <= y <= 2, are presented and reveal that A-type antiferromagnetic order, with ordered moments lying along the c axis, persists for x less than or similar to 0.12(1). The antiferromagnetic order is smoothly suppressed with increasing x, with both the ordered moment and Neel temperature linearly decreasing. Stripe-type antiferromagnetic order does not occur for x <= 0.25, nor does ferromagnetic order for x up to at least x = 0.104, and a smooth crossover from the collapsed-tetragonal (cT) phase of CaCo1.86As2 to the tetragonal (T) phase of CaFe2As2 occurs. These results suggest that hole doping CaCo1.86As2 has a less dramatic effect on the magnetism and structure than steric effects due to substituting Sr for Ca.
