Title: Impact of nematicity on the relationship between antiferromagnetic fluctuations and superconductivity in FeSe 0.91 S 0.09 under pressure

Journal Article · · Physical Review B

The sulfur-substituted FeSe system, FeSe 1 - x S x , provides a versatile platform for studying the relationship among nematicity, antiferromagnetism, and superconductivity. Herein, by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and resistivity measurements up to 4.73 GPa on FeSe 0.91 S 0.09 , we established the pressure- ( p -) temperature ( T ) phase diagram in which the nematic state is suppressed with pressure showing a nematic quantum phase transition (QPT) around p = 0.5 GPa , two superconductivity (SC) regions separated by the QPT appear, and antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase emerges above ~ 3.3 GPa . From the NMR results up to 2.1 GPa, AFM fluctuations are revealed to be characterized by the stripe-type wave vector which remains the same for the two SC regions. Furthermore, the electronic state is discovered to change in character from non-Fermi liquid to Fermi liquid around the nematic QPT and persists up to ~ 2.1 GPa . In addition, although the AFM fluctuations correlate with T c in both SC states, demonstrating the importance of the AFM fluctuations for the appearance of SC in the system, we found that, when nematic order is absent, T c is strongly correlated with the AFM fluctuations whereas T c weakly depends on the AFM fluctuations when nematic order is present. Our findings on FeSe 0.91 S 0.09 were shown to be applied to the whole FeSe 1 - x S x system and offer an insight into the relationship between AFM fluctuations and SC in Fe-based superconductors.
