Inelastic neutron scattering measurements on single crystals of superconducting BaFe1.84Co0.16As2 reveal a magnetic excitation located at wavevectors (1/2 1/2 L) in tetragonal notation. On cooling below TC, a clear resonance peak is observed at this wavevector with an energy of 8.6(0.5) meV, corresponding to 4.5(0.3) kBTC. This is in good agreement with the canonical value of 5 kBTC observed in the cuprates. The spectrum shows strong dispersion in the tetragonal plane but very weak dispersion along the c-axis, indicating that the magnetic fluctuations are two-dimensional in nature. This is in sharp contrast to the anisotropic three dimensional spin excitations seen in the undoped parent compounds.
Collective nature of spin excitations in superconducting cuprates probed by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering
利用共振非弹性X射线散射（RIXS）技术，研究了高温超导体YBa_2Cu_3 O_（6 +x）在宽掺杂范围（0.1 < x < 1）内的色散自旋激发。当入射光子能量从共振条件失谐时，仔细监测激发分布，发现自旋激发能对所有x都与失谐无关。这些发现表明，掺杂铜氧化物中自旋翻转RIXS分布的最大部分来自磁集体模式，而不是最近理论上提出的非相干粒子-空穴激发[Benjamin等人，Phys. Rev. Lett. 112，247002（2014）]。在铜酸盐的电子系统的理论描述的影响进行了讨论。
Dispersive spin excitations in highly overdoped cuprates revealed by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering
利用共振非弹性X射线散射（RIXS）在铜$L$吸收边，我们已经观察到强烈的，分散的自旋激发在高度过掺杂的Tl $_2$ Ba $_2$ CuO $_{6+δ}$（超导$T_c =6$ K），一种化合物，其正常状态的电荷传输和热力学性质已被广泛研究，并显示出典型的费米液体行为。补充RIXS实验上稍过掺杂的Tl $_2$ Ba $_2$ CuO $_{6+δ}$（$T_c =89$ K）和Y $_{1-x}$ Ca $_{x}$ Ba $_2$ Cu $_3$ O $_{6+δ}$化合物跨越广泛的掺杂水平表明，这些激发表现出的能量和能量积分光谱权重密切类似的反铁磁振子在未掺杂的铜酸盐。令人惊讶的共存费米液体的电荷激发和高能量的自旋激发，让人想起反铁磁绝缘体在高度过掺杂的化合物提出了挑战，目前的理论模型的铜酸盐。
