Static and Dynamic Magnetism in Underdoped Superconductor BaFeCoAs

arXiv:0904.0767 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.103.087002

Abstract

We report neutron scattering measurements on single crystals of BaFeCoAs. The magnetic Bragg peak intensity is reduced by 6 % upon cooling through T. The spin dynamics exhibit a gap of 8 meV with anisotropic three-dimensional (3d) interactions. Below T additional intensity appears at an energy of 4.5(0.5) meV similar to previous observations of a spin resonance in other Fe-based superconductors. No further gapping of the spin excitations is observed below T for energies down to 2 meV. These observations suggest the redistribution of spectral weight from the magnetic Bragg position to a spin resonance demonstrating the direct competition between static magnetic order and superconductivity.
