Inelastic neutron scattering study on the resonance mode in an optimally doped superconductor LaFeAsO0.92F0.08
Abstract
An optimally doped iron-based superconductor LaFeAsO{sub 0.92}F{sub 0.08} with T{sub c} = 29 K has been studied by inelastic powder neutron scattering. The magnetic excitation at Q = 1.15 {angstrom}{sup -1} is enhanced below T{sub c}, leading to a peak at E{sub res}-13 meV as the resonance mode, in addition to the formation of a gap at low energy below the crossover energy {Delta}{sub c}-10 meV. The peak energy at Q = 1.15 {angstrom}{sup -1} corresponds to 5.2 k{sub B}T{sub c} in good agreement with the other values of resonance mode observed in iron based superconductors. Although the phonon density of states has a peak at the same energy as the resonance mode in the present superconductor, The Q dependence is consistent with the resonance being of preominantly magnetic origin.
