Aliovalent rare-earth substitution into the alkaline-earth site of CaFe${}_{2}$As${}_{2}$ single crystals is used to fine tune structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of this iron-based superconducting system. Neutron and single-crystal x-ray scattering experiments indicate that an isostructural collapse of the tetragonal unit cell can be controllably induced at ambient pressures by …
