The experimental data available up to date in literature corresponding to the paramagnetic - spin density wave transition in nonsuperconducting LaOFeAs are discussed. In particular, we pay attention that upon spin density wave transition there is a relative decrease of the density of states on the Fermi level and a pseudogap formation. The values of these quantities are not properly described in frames of the density functional theory. The agreement of them with experimental estimations becomes more accurate with the use of fixed spin moment procedure when iron spin moment is set to experimental value. Strong electron correlations which are not included into the present calculation scheme may lead both to the decrease of spin moment and renormalization of energy spectrum in the vicinity of the Fermi level for correct description of discussed characteristics.

We present a detailed study on the magnetic order in the undoped mother compound LaOFeAs of the recently discovered Fe-based superconductor LaO$_{1-x}$F$_x$FeAs. In particular, we present local probe measurements of the magnetic properties of LaOFeAs
by means of $^{57}$Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy and muon spin relaxation in zero external field along with magnetization and resistivity studies. These experiments prove a commensurate static magnetic order with a strongly reduced ordered moment of 0.25(5) $mu_B$ at the iron site below T_N = 138 K, well separated from a structural phase transition at T_N = 156 K. The temperature dependence of the sublattice magnetization is determined and compared to theory. Using a four-band spin density wave model both, the size of the order parameter and the quick saturation below T_N are reproduced.
We performed inelastic neutron experiments on underdoped La_2-xSr_xCuO_4(x=0.10, T_c=28.6K) using a time-of-flight neutron scattering technique. Four incommensurate peaks on the two-dimensional reciprocal plane disperse inwards toward an antiferromag
netic zone center as the energy increases. These peaks merge into a single peak at an energy E_cross around w=40+-3meV. Beyond E_cross, the peak starts to broaden and ``hourglass-like excitations are observed. The E_cross in the underdoped sample is smaller than that reported for the optimally doped La_1.84Sr_0.16CuO_4. The reduction of the E_cross is explained by the doping-independent slope of the downward dispersion below the E_cross combined with the smaller incommensurability in the underdoped sample. In the energy spectrum of chi(w), we observed a similar peak-dip-hump structure in the energy region of 10~45meV to that reported for the optimally doped sample. We discuss the relation between the hourglass-shaped dispersion and the peak-dip-hump energy spectrum.
The pseudogap is one of the most pervasive phenomena of high temperature superconductors. It is attributed either to incoherent Cooper pairing setting in above the superconducting transition temperature Tc, or to a hidden order parameter competing wi
th superconductivity. Here we use inelastic neutron scattering from underdoped YBa(2)Cu(3)O(6.6) to show that the dispersion relations of spin excitations in the superconducting and pseudogap states are qualitatively different. Specifically, the extensively studied hour glass shape of the magnetic dispersions in the superconducting state is no longer discernible in the pseudogap state and we observe an unusual vertical dispersion with pronounced in-plane anisotropy. The differences between superconducting and pseudogap states are thus more profound than generally believed, suggesting a competition between these two states. Whereas the high-energy excitations are common to both states and obey the symmetry of the copper oxide square lattice, the low-energy excitations in the pseudogap state may be indicative of collective fluctuations towards a state with broken orientational symmetry predicted in theoretical work.
The magnetic spectrum at high-energies in heavily underdoped YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{6.35}$ (T$_{c}$=18 K) has been determined throughout the Brillouin zone. At low-energy the scattering forms a cone of spin excitations emanating from the antiferromagne
tic (0.5, 0.5) wave vector with an acoustic velocity similar to that of insulating cuprates. At high energy transfers, below the maximum energy of 270 meV at (0.5, 0), we observe zone boundary dispersion much larger and spectral weight loss more extensive than in insulating antiferromagnets. Moreover we report phenomena not found in insulators, an overall lowering of the zone-boundary energies and a large damping of $sim$ 100 meV of the spin excitations at high-energies. The energy above which the damping occurs coincides approximately with the gap determined from transport measurements. We propose that as the energy is raised the spin excitations encounter an extra channel of decay into particle-hole pairs of a continuum that we associate with the pseudogap.
We have investigated the spin fluctuations at energy transfers up to ~110 meV, well above the resonance energy (33 meV) in the YBa2Cu3O6.5 ortho-II superconductor using neutron time-of-flight and triple-axis techniques. The spectrum at high energies
differs from the low-energy incommensurate modulations previously reported where the incommensurate wave vector is largely independent of energy. Well above the resonance the peak of the spin response lies at wave vectors that increase with energy. Within error the excitations at all energies above the resonance are best described by a ring around the (pi, pi) position. The isotropic wave-vector pattern differs from a recently reported square pattern in different but related systems. The spin spectral weight at high-energies is similar to that in the insulator but the characteristic velocity is ~40% lower. We introduce a method of extracting the acoustic and optic weights at all energies from time-of-flight data. We find that the optic spectral weight extends to surprisingly low-energies of ~25 meV, and infer that the bilayer spin correlations weaken with increase in hole doping. When the low-energy optic excitations are taken into account we measure the total integrated weight around (pi, pi), for energies below 120 meV, to agree with that expected from the insulator. As a qualitative guide, we compare spin-wave calculations for an ordered and a disordered stripe model and describe the inadequacy of this and other stripe models for the high-energy fluctuations.
