On the Superconductivity of LaFe1-yCoyAsO1-xFx

Abstract

We have prepared the superconducting system LaFe1-yCoyAsO1-xFx (x=0.11) and carried out measurements of their electrical resistivities r and superconducting diamagnetisms. 75As- and 135La-NMR studies have also been carried out. The Knight shift observed for 75As has been found to be suppressed by the superconductivity, while for 135La, the shift is almost insensitive to the superconductivity. This result presents rather strong experimental evidence for the singlet pairing. The Co-doping effect on the superconducting transition temperature Tc is not so significant as expected for superconductors with nodes, suggesting that the potential scattering does not seem to primarily suppress the superconductivity. Even for superconductors without nodes, it may not be so trivial to expect this small effect, if there are two different (disconnected) Fermi surfaces whose order parameters have opposite signs. As a possible explanation of this small Tc suppression seems to be related with the loss of the itinerant nature of the electrons.
