Multiple Antiferromagnetic Spin Fluctuations and Novel Evolution of Tc in Iron-based superconductors LaFe(As1-xPx)(O1-yFy) revealed by 31P-NMR Studies

Abstract

We report on 31P-NMR studies of LaFe(As_{1-x}P_x)(O_{1-y}F_{y}) over wide compositions for 0<x<1 and 0<y<0.14, which provide clear evidence that antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations (AFMSFs) are one of the indispensable elements for enhancing Tc. Systematic 31P-NMR measurements revealed two types of AFMSFs in the temperature evolution, that is, one is the AFMSFs that develop rapidly down to Tc with low-energy characteristics, and the other, with relatively higher energy than the former, develops gradually upon cooling from high temperature. The low-energy AFMSFs in low y (electron doping) over a wide x (pnictogen height suppression) range are associated with the two orbitals of d_{xz/yz}, whereas the higher-energy ones for a wide y region around low x originate from the three orbitals of d_{xy} and d_{xz/yz}. We remark that the nonmonotonic variation of Tc as a function of x and y in LaFe(As_{1-x}P_x)(O_{1-y}F_y) is attributed to these multiple AFMSFs originating from degenerated multiple 3d orbitals inherent to Fe-pnictide superconductors.
