Abstract

Quantum criticality nearby a certain magnetic phase transition beneath the superconducting dome of Ba1xNaxFe2As2\mathrm{Ba_{1-x}Na_xFe_2As_2} is attentively studied by virtue of a phenomenological theory in conjunction with renormalization group approach. We report that ordering competition between magnetic and superconducting fluctuations is capable of coaxing incommensurate (IC) magnetic states to experience distinct fates depending upon their spin configurations. The C2C_2-symmetry IC magnetic stripe with perpendicular magnetic helix dominates over other C2C_2-symmetry magnetic competitors and hints at a potential candidate for the unknown C2C_2-symmetry magnetic state. Amongst C4C_4-symmetry IC magnetic phases, IC charge spin density wave is substantiated to be superior, shedding light on the significant intertwining of charge and spin degrees of freedom. Meanwhile, ferocious fluctuations render a sharp fall of superfluid density alongside dip of critical temperature as well as intriguing behavior of London penetration depth.
