  • Description: We have systematically studied physical properties of BaðFe0.97Cr0.03Þ2ðAs1−xPxÞ2, where super-conductivity in BaFe2ðAs1−xPxÞ2is fully suppressed by just 3% of Cr substitution of Fe. A quantum criticalpoint is revealed atx∼0.42, where non-Fermi-liquid behaviors similar to those in BaFe2ðAs1−xPxÞ2areobserved. Neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering measurements suggest that the quantumcritical point is associated with the antiferromagnetic order, which is not of conventional spin-density-wavetype as evidenced by theω=Tscaling of spin excitations. On the other hand, no divergence of low-temperature nematic susceptibility is observed whenxis decreased to 0.42 from higher doping level,demonstrating that there are no nematic quantum critical fluctuations. Our results suggest that non-Fermi-liquid behaviors in iron-based superconductors can be solely resulted from the antiferromagnetic quantumcritical fluctuations, which cast doubts on the role of nematic fluctuations played in the normal-stateproperties in iron-based superconductors.
