Effects of transition metal substitutions on the incommensurability and spin fluctuations in BaFe2As2 by elastic and inelastic neutron scattering.

چکیده
The spin fluctuation spectra from nonsuperconducting Cu-substituted, and superconducting Co-substituted, BaFe(2)As(2) are compared quantitatively by inelastic neutron scattering measurements and are found to be indistinguishable. Whereas diffraction studies show the appearance of incommensurate spin-density wave order in Co and Ni substituted samples, the magnetic phase diagram for Cu substitution does not display incommensurate order, demonstrating that simple electron counting based on rigid-band concepts is invalid. These results, supported by theoretical calculations, suggest that substitutional impurity effects in the Fe plane play a significant role in controlling magnetism and the appearance of superconductivity, with Cu distinguished by enhanced impurity scattering and split-band behavior.

Neutron scattering is proved to be a vital probe in unveiling the magnetic properties of high temperature superconductors (HTSC). Detailed information about the energy and momentum dependence of the magnetic dynamics of HTSC have been obtained directly by this technique. Over the past decade by improving the crystal growth methods, large and high quality single crystals of HTSC, which are ess...
متن کاملIncommensurability and spin dynamics in the low-temperature phases of Ni3V2O8
Magnetic order and low-energy spin dynamics in the zero field ground state of Ni3V2O8 are revealed in elastic and inelastic neutron scattering experiments. Neutron diffraction shows that below T = 2.3 K the Ni2+ moments (spin S = 1) order in a cycloid pattern with incommensurate wave vector kICM = (0,1,τ ), where τ = 0.4030 ± 0.0004, which is superimposed on a commensurate antiferromagnetic spi...
متن کاملPolarized neutron scattering studies of the kagomé lattice antiferromagnet KFe3(OH)6(SO4)2
We report polarized neutron scattering studies of spin-wave excitations and spin fluctuations in the S=5/2 kagomé lattice antiferromagnet KFe3(OH)6(SO4)2 (jarosite). Inelastic polarized neutron scattering measurements at 10 K on a single crystal sample reveal two spin gaps, associated with in-plane and out-of-plane excitations. The polarization analysis of quasi-elastic scattering at 67 K shows...
متن کاملExact mapping of the d(x(2)-y(2)) Cooper-pair wavefunction onto the spin fluctuations in cuprates: the Fermi surface as a driver for 'high T(c)' superconductivity.
We propose that the extraordinarily high superconducting transition temperatures in the cuprates are driven by an exact mapping of the d(x(2)-y(2)) Cooper-pair wavefunction onto the incommensurate spin fluctuations observed in neutron-scattering experiments. This is manifested in the direct correspondence between the inverse of the incommensurability factor δ seen in inelastic neutron-scatterin...
متن کاملNeutron-scattering evidence for a periodically modulated superconducting phase in the underdoped cuprate La1.905Ba0.095CuO4.
The role of antiferromagnetic spin correlations in high-temperature superconductors remains a matter of debate. We present inelastic neutron-scattering evidence that gapless spin fluctuations coexist with superconductivity in La1.905Ba0.095CuO4. Furthermore, we observe that both the low-energy magnetic spectral weight and the spin incommensurability are enhanced with the onset of superconductin...
