Abstract:We present the results of Synchrotron XRD measurements on powdered single crystal samples of BaFe2-xRuxAs2, as a function of Ru content, and as a function of temperature, across the spin density wave transition in BaFe1.9Ru0.1As2. The Rietveld refinements reveal that with Ru substitution, while the a-axis increases, the c-axis decreases. In addition the variation of positional co-ordinates of As (zAs), the Fe-As bond length and the As-Fe-As bond angles have also been determined. In the sample with x=0.1, temperature dependent XRD measurements, indicate that the orthorhombicity shows the characteristic increase with decrease in temperature, below the magnetic transition. It is seen that the c-axis, the As-FeAs bond angles, Fe-As bond length and positional co-ordinate of the As show definite anomalies close to the structural transition. The observed anomalies in structural parameters are analysed in conjunction with geometric optimization of the structure using ab-initio electronic structure calculations.
