摘要
We report a systematic investigation of Ba(Fe1-xCox)(2)As-2 based on transport and As-75 NMR measurements, and establish the electronic phase diagram. We demonstrate that doping progressively suppresses the uniform spin susceptibility and low frequency spin fluctuations. The optimum superconducting phase emerges at x(c) similar or equal to 0.08 when the tendency toward spin ordering completely diminishes. Our findings point toward the presence of a quantum critical point near x(c) between the SDW (spin density wave) and superconducting phases.
