abstract = {P 31 and A 75 s NMR measurements were performed in superconducting BaFe2( As0.67P0.33)2 with Tc =30 K. The nuclear-spin-lattice relaxation rate T 1 -1 and the Knight shift in the normal state indicate the development of antiferromagnetic fluctuations, and T 1 -1 in the superconducting (SC) state decreases without a coherence peak just below Tc, as observed in (Ba1-x Kx) Fe2 As 2. In contrast to other iron arsenide superconductors, the T 1 -1 T behavior is observed below 4 K, indicating the presence of a residual density of states at zero energy. Our results suggest that strikingly different SC gaps appear in BaFe2 (As1-x Px)2despite a comparable Tc value, an analogous phase diagram, and similar Fermi surfaces to (Ba1-x Kx) Fe2 As2. © 2010 The American Physical Society.},

abstract = {We report experimental results of 75As and 139La nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in the layered oxypnictide system LaFeAs (O1 - x Fx) (x = 0.0, 0.04, 0.07 and 0.11) where superconductivity occurs in x greater than 0.04. In the undoped LaFeAsO, 1 / T1 of 139La exhibits a distinct peak at TN ~ 142 K below which the La NMR spectra become broadened due to the internal magnetic field attributed to an antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering. In the x = 0.04 sample, 1 / T1 T of 75As exhibits a Curie-Weiss temperature dependence down to 30 K, suggesting the development of AFM spin fluctuations with decreasing temperature. In the x = 0.11 sample, in contrast, pseudogap behavior is observed in 1 / T1 T at the 75As site with a gap value of ΔPG ~ 175 K. The spin dynamics vary markedly with F-doping, which is ascribed to the change of the Fermi-surface structure by the electron-doping. As for the superconducting properties for x = 0.04, 0.07 and 0.11, 1 / T1 of 75As in all compounds does not exhibit a coherence peak just below Tc and follows a T3 dependence at low temperatures. These results seemingly suggests that unconventional superconductivity with zero gap along lines, whereas the lack of the residual density of states at the low temperatures is incompatible with the presence of the line-nodes. We discuss similarity and difference between LaFeAs (O1 - x Fx) and cuprates, and also discuss the relationship between spin dynamics and superconductivity on the basis of F-doping dependence of Tc and 1 / T1.

At x=0.04 near the phase boundary, from resistivity, spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/ T1, and NMR spectrum measurements, we found weak magnetic order at TN □30 K. Antiferromagnetic (AFM) fluctuations proved through 1/ T1 are suppressed significantly with F doping, and pseudogap behavior without pronounced AFM fluctuations is observed at x=0.11 where TC is maximum. This significant suppression of 1/ T1 T upon F doping while TC remains nearly unchanged suggests that low-energy AFM fluctuations probed with A 75 s NMR do not play a crucial role in the superconductivity. © 2009 The American Physical Society.},

abstract = {We report 75As and 139La NMR/NQR results in LaFeAs(O0.89F0.11). In the normal state, 1/T1T decreases with lowered temperature, which is reminiscent of the pseudogap behavior in the high-Tc cuprates. In the superconducting (SC) state, 1/T1 decreases suddenly below Tc without a Hebel-Slichter coherence peak, followed by a T3 dependence, which is characteristics of unconventional superconductors with lines of nodes. However, the residual density of states in the low temperatures, which is usually observed in unconventional superconductors with crystal imperfections and/or impurity phases, was not observed. Knight shift measurements show that spin susceptibility decreases in the SC state. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd.},
