・Superconductivity appears by doping carriers.
・ Superconducting transition relates to a magnetic instability ??.
Motivation

Carrier density and pressure dependence in Fe based system BaFe2As2.

Crystal structure and magnetic property in
BaFe2As2
 because it should play vital role for the
occurrence of superconductivity.

If we would like to understand the magnetic property at superconducting and “??”phase,
It is important to know the structural and magnetic property in “mother compound”.
