Abstract
Muon spin rotation and relaxation studies have been performed on a ``111'' family of iron-based superconductors, ${\mathrm{NaFe}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Ni}}_{x}\mathrm{As}$, using single crystalline samples with Ni concentrations $x=0$, 0.4, 0.6, 1.0, 1.3, and 1.5%. Static magnetic order was characterized by obtaining the temperature and doping dependences of the local ordered magnetic moment size and the volume fraction of the magnetically ordered regions. For $x=0$ and 0.4%, a transition to a nearly-homogeneous long range magnetically ordered state is observed, while for $x\ensuremath{\gtrsim}0.4%$ magnetic order becomes more disordered and is completely suppressed for $x=1.5%$. The magnetic volume fraction continuously decreases with increasing $x$. Development of superconductivity in the full volume is inferred from Meissner shielding results for $x\ensuremath{\gtrsim}0.4%$. The combination of magnetic and superconducting volumes implies that a spatially-overlapping coexistence of magnetism and superconductivity spans a large region of the $T\ensuremath{-}x$ phase diagram for ${\mathrm{NaFe}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Ni}}_{x}\mathrm{As}$. A strong reduction of both the ordered moment size and the volume fraction is observed below the superconducting ${T}_{\mathrm{C}}$ for $x=0.6$, 1.0, and 1.3%, in contrast to other iron pnictides in which one of these two parameters exhibits a reduction below ${T}_{\mathrm{C}}$, but not both. The suppression of magnetic order is further enhanced with increased Ni doping, leading to a reentrant nonmagnetic state below ${T}_{\mathrm{C}}$ for $x=1.3%$. The reentrant behavior indicates an interplay between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity involving competition for the same electrons. These observations are consistent with the sign-changing ${s}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$ superconducting state, which is expected to appear on the verge of microscopic coexistence and phase separation with magnetism. We also present a universal linear relationship between the local ordered moment size and the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature ${T}_{\mathrm{N}}$ across a variety of iron-based superconductors. We argue that this linear relationship is consistent with an itinerant-electron approach, in which Fermi surface nesting drives antiferromagnetic ordering. In studies of superconducting properties, we find that the $T=0$ limit of superfluid density follows the linear trend observed in underdoped cuprates when plotted against ${T}_{\mathrm{C}}$. This paper also includes a detailed theoretical prediction of the muon stopping sites and provides comparisons with experimental results.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
