Static magnetic order and superfluid density of RFeAs(O,F) (R=La,Nd,Ce) and LaFePO studied by muon spin relaxation: unusual similarities with the behavior of cuprate superconductors.

چکیده
Muon spin relaxation measurements in iron-oxypnictide systems have revealed: (1) commensurate long-range order in undoped LaFeAsO; (2) a Bessel function line shape in LaFeAs(O0.97F0.03) which indicates possible incommensurate or stripe magnetism; (3) anomalous weak magnetism existing in superconducting LaFePO, CeFeAs(O0.084F0.16), and NdFeAs(O0.88F0.12) but absent in superconducting LaFeAs(O0.92F0.08); and (4) scaling of the superfluid density with T_{c} in the Ce-, La-, and Nd-FeAs superconductors following a nearly linear relationship found in cuprates.

Muon Spin Relaxation Studies of Unconventional Superconductors: First-Order Behavior and Comparable Spin-Charge Energy Scales
Since the late 1980s, the muon spin rotation and relaxation (μSR) method has been extensively applied to studies of unconventional superconductors, including high-Tc cuprate, ruthenate, FeAs, organic, and heavy-fermion systems. With its unique sensitivity to static magnetic order in both long-range ordered and random spin systems, μSR has played a leading role in determining magnetic phase diag...
متن کاملNonlinear response and scaling law in the vortex state of d-wave superconductors
– We study the field dependence of the quasi-particle density of states, the thermodynamics and the transport properties in the vortex state of d-wave superconductors when a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the conducting plane, specially for the low field and the low temperature compared to the upper critical field and transition temperature, respectively, H/Hc2 ≪ 1 and T/Tc ≪ 1. Bot...
متن کاملInhomogeneous fluctuating superconductivity in YBa2Cu3Oy and La2−xSrxCuO4 above Tc
Over the past decade, a diverse set of experiments on high-transition temperature (Tc) cuprate superconductors have produced evidence for the existence of superconducting correlations at temperatures well above the bulk Tc. Included in this group of experimental findings is the discovery of an unusual magnetic-field induced effect in YBa2Cu3Oy and La2−xSrxCuO4 above Tc by transverse-field muon ...
متن کاملCoexistence of static magnetism and superconductivity in SmFeAsO(1-x)F(x) as revealed by muon spin rotation.
The recent observation of superconductivity with critical temperatures (Tc) up to 55 K in the pnictide RFeAsO(1-x)F(x), where R is a lanthanide, marks the first discovery of a non-copper-oxide-based layered high-Tc superconductor. It has raised the suspicion that these new materials share a similar pairing mechanism to the cuprate superconductors, as both families exhibit superconductivity foll...
متن کاملEnergy-scale phenomenology and pairing via resonant spin-charge motion in FeAs, CuO, heavy-fermion and other exotic superconductors
Muon spin relaxation (μSR) studies of the “1111” and “122” FeAs systems have detected static magnetism with variably sized ordered moments in their parent compounds. The phase diagrams of FeAs, CuO, organic BEDT, A3C60 and heavy-fermion systems indicate competition between static magnetism and superconductivity, associated with first-order phase transitions at quantum phase boundaries. In both ...
