Hall effect and resistivity study of the magnetic transition, carrier content, and Fermi-Liquid Behavior in Ba(Fe(1-x) Co(x))(2)As(2).
The negative Hall constant R(H) measured all over the phase diagram of Ba(Fe(1-x) Co(x))(2)As(2) allows us to show that electron carriers always dominate the transport properties. The evolution of R(H) with x at low doping (x<2%) indicates that important band structure changes happen for x<2% prior to the emergence of superconductivity. For higher x, a change with T of the electron concentration is required to explain the low T variations of R(H), while the electron scattering rate displays the T(2) law expected for a Fermi liquid. The T=0 residual scattering is affected by Co disorder in the magnetic phase, but is rather dominated by incipient disorder in the paramagnetic state.
