Abstract

Iron-based high-temperature superconductors have garnered tremendous interest in fundamental science and applied research. Their fascinating properties are inherently tied to the interaction between superconductivity and magnetism in these materials. We propose to perform MuSR measurements on the copper-doped superconductor Na(Fe,Cu)As to examine the intimate relationship between magnetism and superconductivity in this novel material.
