摘要:

利用中子非弹性散射方法,系统研究了BaFe_(2-x)Ni_xAs_2体系从欠掺杂反铁磁体到过掺杂超导体(0.03< x < 0.18)的低能自旋激发随Ni掺杂的演化.在未掺杂状态下,BaFe_2As_2的低能(<80 meV)自旋波在倒易空间的[H,K]平面内形成横向拉长的椭圆。在Ni掺杂后,c轴磁交换耦合被迅速抑制,并且相对于母体化合物的面内AF有序波矢量,[H,K]平面中自旋激发的动量分布在横向和纵向上都被放大。作为增加Ni掺杂x的函数,自旋激发宽度线性增加,但沿横向方向具有较大的速率。这些结果与基于随机相位近似(RPA)的巡游电子图像中的动态磁化率的计算结果基本一致。对于在x= 0.1处接近最佳超导性的样品,在超导状态下出现中子自旋共振。在进一步增加电子掺杂以降低超导转变温度Tc时,低能磁散射的强度降低并且与超导圆顶的过掺杂侧中的超导性消失同时消失。与低掺杂和最佳掺杂材料(x<0.1)的中心在公度AF位置的低能自旋激发相比,过掺杂侧(x=0.15)的自旋激发形成横向非公度自旋激发,与RPA计算一致。因此,巡游电子方法为BaFe_(2-x)Ni_xAs_2中低能AF自旋激发提供了合理的描述。

英文摘要:

We use inelastic neutron scattering to systematically investigate the Ni-doping evolution of the low-energy spin excitations in BaFe2-xNixAs2 spanning from underdoped antiferromagnet to overdoped superconductor (0.03< x < 0.18). In the undoped state, the low-energy (<80 meV) spin waves of BaFe2As2 form transversely elongated ellipses in the [H, K] plane of the reciprocal space. Upon Ni-doping, the c-axis magnetic exchange coupling is rapidly suppressed and the momentum distribution of spin excitations in the [H, K] plane is enlarged in both the transverse and longitudinal directions with respect to the in-plane AF ordering wave vector of the parent compound. As a function of increasing Ni-doping x, the spin excitation widths increase linearly but with a larger rate along the transverse direction. These results are in general agreement with calculations of dynamic susceptibility based on the random phase approximation (RPA) in an itinerant electron picture. For samples near optimal superconductivity at x= 0.1, a neutron spin resonance appears in the superconducting state. Upon further increasing the electron-doping to decrease the superconducting transition temperature Tc, the intensity of the low-energy magnetic scattering decreases and vanishes concurrently with vanishing superconductivity in the overdoped side of the superconducting dome. Comparing with the low-energy spin excitations centered at commensurate AF positions for underdoped and optimally doped materials (x<0.1), spin excitations in the over-doped side (x=0.15) form transversely incommensurate spin excitations, consistent with the RPA calculation. Therefore, the itinerant electron approach provides a reasonable description to the low-energy AF spin excitations in BaFe2-xNixAs2.
