Abstract

In iron pnictides, high temperature superconductivity emerges after suppressing antiferromagnetism by doping. Here we show that antiferromagnetism in Ca1x_{1-x}Lax_xFeAs2_2 is robust against and even enhanced by doping. Using 75^{75}As-nuclear magnetic resonance and nuclear quadrupole resonance techniques, we find that an antiferromagnetic order occurs below the N\'eel temperature TNT_{\rm N} = 62 K at a high doping concentration (xx = 0.15) where superconductivity sets in at the transition temperature TcT_{\rm c} = 35 K. Unexpectedly, TNT_{\rm N} is enhanced with increasing doping, rising up to TNT_{\rm N} = 70 K at xx = 0.24. The obtained phase diagram of this new system enriches the physics of iron-based high-TcT_{\rm c} superconductors.
