摘要
The normal state and superconducting properties are investigated in the phase diagram of KxSr1-xFe2As2 for 0 <= x <= 1. The ground state upper critical field, H-c2(0), is extrapolated from magnetic field- dependent resistivity measurements. H-c2(0) scales with the critical temperature, T-c, of the superconducting transition. In the normal state, the Seebeck coefficient is shown to experience a dramatic change near a critical substitution of x similar or equal to 0.3. This is associated with the formation of a spin density wave state above the superconducting transition temperature. The results provide strong evidence for the reconstruction of the Fermi surface with the onset of magnetic order.
