Magnetic fluctuations and superconducting properties of CaKFe4As4 studied by As75 NMR

Abstract: We report 75 As nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies on a new iron-based superconductor CaKFe4As4 with Tc = 35 K. 75 As NMR spectra show two distinct lines corresponding to the As(1) and As(2) sites close to the K and Ca layers, respectively, revealing that K and Ca layers are well ordered without site inversions. We found that nuclear quadrupole frequencies νQ of the As(1) and As(2) sites show an opposite temperature (T ) dependence. Nearly T independent behavior of the Knight shifts K are observed in th… Show more

“…2. The observed spectra are very similar to those in the pure CaK1144 where the lower-field central peak with a greater Knight shift K (and also larger ν Q ) has been assigned to the As2 site and the higher-field central peak with a smaller K (and also smaller ν Q ) has been attributed to the As1 site [32]. Figure 3 shows the T dependence of ν Q , K ab (H ab), and K c (H c axis) for the two As sites.…”

“…For the As1 site, with increasing T , ν Q increases from 12. The first-principles analysis shows the different T dependences of ν Q 's for the two As sites can be explained by hedgehog SVC magnetic fluctuations [32].…”

“…22,23) This multiband nature implies multi-gap superconductivity in CaKFe 4 As 4 . Two superconducting gaps which are nodeless and isotropic were, indeed, observed by scanning tunneling microscopy, 20) optical conductivity, 24) penetration depth, 21) muon spin rota- * k iida@cross.or.jp tion, 18) and 75 As nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) 25) measurements. The largest superconducting gaps (∆ hole = 13 meV and ∆ electron = 12 meV) for quasi-two-dimensional hole and electron pockets that have similar diameters at the Γ and M points were reported by ARPES studies, 22) suggesting that the ideal nesting condition with the (π, π) wave vector referred to the tetragonal reciprocal lattice.…”

“…One can, therefore, expect the same spin-fluctuationmediated s ± -wave pairing mechanism 27,28) for this material, which was proposed in previous studies. [20][21][22][23]25) However, the sign of the superconducting gaps in CaKFe 4 As 4 has never been investigated via a phase-sensitive technique. As is well established, the appearance of neutron spin resonance depends sensitively on the relative signs of the superconducting gaps on different portions of the Fermi surfaces separated by momentum Q AF , and thus it serves as a direct probe of the symmetry of the superconducting order parameter.…”

“…Also inorganic materials can show extreme sensitivity to pressure due to formation and breaking of certain covalent bonds in their crystal structures upon pressurizing. Some examples are systems with layered ThCr 2 Si 2 (so‐called “122”) structure where the formation of a XX covalent bond (X = Si, As, Se, S, P) across the cation spacer layer at a critical pressure is accompanied by a drastic volume collapse, as is the case for the Fe‐based Ae Fe 2 As 2 and the recently discovered AeA Fe 4 As 4 families of superconductors (both structures are shown in Figure 3 where Ae and A stand for alkaline‐earth and alkali elements) where the collapse transition preserves the tetragonal lattice symmetry. A further example of pressure‐sensitive inorganic materials are layered frustrated magnets such as triangular‐lattice‐based Mott insulators Cs 2 CuCl 4 , Cs 2 CuBr 4 , and honeycomb‐lattice‐based spin‐orbit‐coupled Mott insulators α‐RuCl 3 and A 2 IrO 3 , with A = Li, Na.…”
