Spin fluctuations in the 112-type iron-based superconductor Ca${}_{0.82}$La${}_{0.18}$Fe${}_{0.96}$Ni${}_{0.04}$As${}_2$

Abstract

We report time-of-flight inelastic neutron scattering (INS) investigations on the spin fluctuation spectrum in the 112-type iron-based superconductor (FeSC) Ca${}_{0.82}$La${}_{0.18}$Fe${}_{0.96}$Ni${}_{0.04}$As${}_2$ (CaLa-112). In comparison to the 122-type FeSCs with a centrosymmetric tetragonal lattice structure (space group $I4/mmm$) at room temperature and an in-plane stripe-type antiferromagnetic (AF) order at low temperature, the 112 system has a noncentrosymmetric structure (space group $P{2}_1$) with additional zigzag arsenic chains between Ca/La layers and a magnetic ground state with similar wavevector ${\mathbf{Q}}_{\mathrm{AF}}$ but different orientations of ordered moments in the parent compounds. Our INS study clearly reveals that the in-plane dispersions and the bandwidth of spin excitations in the superconducting CaLa-112 closely resemble to those in 122 systems. While the total fluctuating moments $⟨m^2⟩\approx 4.6\pm 0.2{\mu }_B^2$/Fe are larger than 122 system, the dynamic correlation lengths are similar ($\xi \approx 10$ Å). These results suggest that superconductivity in iron arsenides may have a common magnetic origin under similar magnetic exchange couplings with a dual nature from local moments and itinerant electrons, despite their different magnetic patterns and lattice symmetries.
