Nanoscale layering of antiferromagnetic and superconducting phases in Rb2Fe4Se5

, 2012
We studied phase separation in a single-crystalline antiferromagnetic superconductor Rb2Fe4Se5 (RFS) using a combination of scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) and low-energy muon spin rotation (LE-\mu SR). We demonstrate that
