Magnetic correlations in the paramagnetic phase of CaFe2As2 (T_N=172 K) have been examined by means of inelastic neutron scattering from 180 K (~ 1.05 T_N) up to 300 K (~1.8 T_N). Despite the first-order nature of the magnetic ordering, strong but short-range antiferromagnetic (AFM) correlations are clearly observed. These correlations, which consist of quasi-elastic scattering centered at the wavevector Q_{AFM} of the low-temperature AFM structure, are observed up to the highest measured temperature of 300 K and at high energy transfer (E> 60 meV). The L dependence of the scattering implies rather weak interlayer coupling in the tetragonal c-direction corresponding to nearly two-dimensional fluctuations in the (ab) plane. The spin correlation lengths within the Fe layer are found to be anisotropic, consistent with underlying fluctuations of the AFM stripe structure. Similar to the cobalt doped superconducting BaFe2As2 compounds, these experimental features can be adequately reproduced by a scattering model that describes short-range anisotropic spin correlations with overdamped spin dynamics.
Anisotropic two-gap superconductivity and the absence of a Pauli paramagnetic limit in single-crystalline LaO$_{0.5}$F$_{0.5}$BiS$_2$
常压生长的$_{0.5}$-BiS-$_2$具有高度各向异性的正常态，其超导转变温度为$T_{c}\sim$ 3 K。通过一系列磁场方向在结晶$c$ -轴和$ab$ -平面之间变化的电阻率测量，我们给出了第一组显示面外上临界场$H_{c2}^{\perp}(T)$，面内上临界场$H_{c2}^{\parallel}(T)$，以及常压生长的LaO $_{0.5}$ F $_{0.5}$ BiS $_2$单晶在固定温度下$H_{c2}$的角度依赖性。超导电性的各向异性，$H_{c2}^{\parallel}/H_{c2}^{\perp}$，达到$\sim$ 16接近0 K，但它显着下降附近$T_{c}$。一个明显的向上弯曲的$H_{c2}^{\parallel}(T)$观察到$T_{c}$附近，我们分析使用两个间隙模型。此外，发现$H_{c2}^{\parallel}(0)$超过泡利顺磁极限，这可以通过考虑与Bi相关的强自旋-轨道耦合以及电子活性BiS $_2$双层的局部反转对称性的破坏来理解。因此，具有中心对称晶格结构的LaO $_{0.5}$ F $_{0.5}$ BiS $_2$是探索与体晶体中的局部宇称违反相关联的物理的独特平台。
Direct observation of spin excitation anisotropy in the paramagnetic orthorhombic state of BaFe$_{2-x}$Ni$_x$As$_2$
我们用输运和非弹性中子散射测量研究了铁磷属元素化物BaFe $_{2-x}$ Ni $_{x}$ As $_{2}$（$x=0,0.03$）的单晶，它在$T_s$处表现出四方晶到正交晶的结构转变，在$T_N$（$T_s\geq T_N$）处表现出条纹反铁磁有序.利用可调单轴压力装置，研究了不同压力条件下晶体在反铁磁波矢$S_1(1,0)$及其90 $^\circ$旋转波矢$S_2(0,1)$下的输运和自旋激发特性。我们发现，所需的单轴压力去孪晶和维持单畴正交反铁磁相的BaFe $_{2-x}$ Ni $_{x}$作为$_{2}$诱导电阻率和自旋激发各向异性在温度高于零压力$T_s$。在单轴无压退孪晶样品中，$S_1(1,0)$和$S_2(0,1)$之间的自旋激发各向异性首先出现在$T_s$下面的顺磁正交相中。这些结果与自旋自旋理论的预测一致，表明铁磷属元素化物中不存在高于$T_s$的结构或相变。

Simultaneous Evidence for Pauli Paramagnetic Effects and Multiband Superconductivity in KFe$_2$As$_2$ by Small-Angle Neutron Scattering Studies of the Vortex Lattice
我们研究了KFe $_2$ As $_2$中超导态的内禀各向异性。当外加磁场向FeAs晶面旋转时，利用小角中子散射对涡旋晶格成像。各向异性被发现是强烈的场依赖性，表明多带超导性。此外，高场各向异性显着超过上临界场，提供进一步的支持泡利限制在KFe $_2$作为$_2$中施加在基面的字段。泡利顺磁性对涡核中未成对准粒子的影响直接从纵向和横向涡旋晶格场调制引起的散射强度的比值中表现出来。
