- In order to elucidate the dependence of the magnetic ground state on the Ca content (x) in Sr1-xCaxCo2P2 (0 <= x <= 1, ThCr2Si2-type structure), we have performed muon spin rotation and relaxation (mu+SR) experiments on Sr1-xCaxCo2P2 powder samples mainly in a zero applied field. The end member compound, SrCo2P2, is found to be paramagnetic down to 19 mK. As x increases, such a paramagnetic ground state is observed down to 1.8 K until x = 0.45. Then, as x increases further, a short-range antiferromagnetic (AF) ordered phase appears at low temperatures for 0.48 <= x <= 0.75, and finally, a long-range AF ordered phase is stabilized for x > 0.75. The internal magnetic field of the other end member compound, CaCo2P2, is well consistent with that of the A-type AF order state, which was proposed from neutron scattering experiments. The phase diagram determined with mu+SR is different from that proposed by macroscopic measurements. For an isostructural compound, LaCo2P2, static magnetic order is found to be formed below similar to 130 K.

- In order to study the variation of a microscopic internal magnetic field with the Ca content (x), we have systematically measured muon-spin rotation and relaxation (mu+SR) spectra for Sr1-xCaxCo2P2 (0 <= x <= 1) powder samples mainly in a zero external field. As x increases from 0, a Pauli-paramagnetic phase is observed even at the lowest T measured (1.8 K) until x = 0.45; then, a short-range antiferromagnetic (AF) ordered phase appears for 0.48 <= x <= 0.75, and finally a long-range AF ordered phase is stabilized for x >= 0.75. The evolution of the magnetic order is connected to the shrinking of the c-axis length as a function of x, which naturally enhances the AF interaction between the two adjacent Co planes.
