摘要:

在铜氧化物和铁基高温(高- $T_{\rm c}$)超导体中,许多物理性质表现出面内各向异性,这被认为是由旋转的破缺有序引起的,其起源及其与超导性的关系仍然难以捉摸。在许多铁磷属元素化物中,四方晶系到正交晶系的结构转变温度$T_{\rm s}$与磁性转变温度$T_{\rm N}$一致,使得轨道和自旋自由度高度纠缠。NaFeAs是$T_{\rm s}$ = 54 K与$T_{\rm N}$ = 42 K很好分离的体系,这有助于简化实验情况。在这里,我们报告的核磁共振(NMR)测量NaFe $_{1-x}$ Co $_x$ As(0 $\leq x \leq$ 0.042),揭示轨道和自旋向列性发生在温度$T^{\rm *}$远高于$T_{\rm s}$在四元相。我们发现,NMR光谱分裂及其演变可以解释由一个非公度轨道顺序,在$T^{\rm *}$以下设置,并成为相称的$T_{\rm s}$,这带来了观察到的自旋向列性。

英文摘要:

In copper-oxide and iron-based high temperature (high-$T_{\rm c}$) superconductors, many physical properties exhibit in-plane anisotropy, which is believed to be caused by a rotational symmetry-breaking nematic order, whose origin and its relationship to superconductivity remain elusive. In many iron-pnictides, a tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural transition temperature $T_{\rm s}$ coincides with the magnetic transition temperature $T_{\rm N}$, making the orbital and spin degrees of freedom highly entangled. NaFeAs is a system where $T_{\rm s}$ = 54 K is well separated from $T_{\rm N}$ = 42 K, which helps simplify the experimental situation. Here we report nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on NaFe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$As (0 $\leq x \leq$ 0.042) that revealed orbital and spin nematicity occurring at a temperature $T^{\rm *}$ far above $T_{\rm s}$ in the tetragonal phase. We show that the NMR spectra splitting and its evolution can be explained by an incommensurate orbital order that sets in below $T^{\rm *}$ and becomes commensurate below $T_{\rm s}$, which brings about the observed spin nematicity.
