Abstract

We report on the investigation of the magnetic superconductor EuFe2_{2}(As0.7_{0.7}P0.3_{0.3})2_{2} based on muon-spin spectroscopy and ac magnetic susceptibility (χ\chi) measurements. The dependence of the internal field at the muon site on temperature is indicative of a ferromagnetic ordering of Eu2+^{2+} magnetic moments and only the conventional magnon scattering governs the longitudinal relaxation rate at low temperatures. At the same time, we observe a rich phenomenology for the imaginary component of the susceptibility χ\chi^{\prime\prime} by means of both standard ac susceptibility and a novel technique based on a microwave coplanar waveguide resonator. In particular, we detect activated trends for several features in χ\chi^{\prime\prime} over frequencies spanning ten orders of magnitude. We interpret our results in terms of the complex dynamics of vortices and antivortices influenced by the underlying structure of magnetic domains.
