Abstract

We use neutron scattering to study the magnetic field effect on the static antiferromagnetic (AF) order and low-energy spin excitations in the underdoped iron arsenide superconductor BaFe1.92Ni0.08As2. At zero field, superconductivity that occurs below Tc = 17 K coincides with application of a 10-T magnetic field in the FeAs-plane, the intensity of the resonance is reduced, accompanied by decreasing Tc and enhanced static AF scattering. These results are similar to those for some copper oxide superconductors, and demonstrate that the static AF order is a competing phase to superconductivity in BaFe1.92Ni0.08As2
