We report a 75-As single crystal NMR investigation of LaFeAsO, the parent phase of a pnictide high Tc superconductor. We demonstrate that spin dynamics develop a strong two-fold anisotropy within each orthorhombic domain below the tetragonal-orthorhombic structural phase transition at T[TO]~156 K. This intermediate state with a dynamical breaking of the rotational symmetry freezes progressively into a spin density wave (SDW) below T[SDW]~142 K. Our findings are consistent with the presence of a spin nematic state below T[TO] with an incipient magnetic order.

We will probe the intrinsic behavior of spin susceptibility chi_(spin) in the LaFeAsO(1-x)F(x) superconductor (x ~ 0.1, Tc ~ 27K) using 19-F and 75-As NMR techniques. Our new results firmly establish the pseudo-gap behavior with Delta_(PG)/kB ~ 140K.
The estimated magnitude of chi_(spin) at 290K, ~1.8x10^(-4) [emu/mol-Fe], is approximately twice larger than that in high Tc cuprates. We also show that chi_(spin) levels off below ~50K down to Tc.
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors due to errors in the X-ray diffraction data. Other measured data are not affected; however, the errors significantly change the interpretation and conclusions, and thus warrant withdrawal and later resubmission.
We report the first ^{75}As-NMR study on a single crystal of the hole-doped iron-pnictide superconductor Ba_{0.7}K_{0.3}Fe_2As_{2} (T_c = 31.5 K). We find that the Fe antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations are anisotropic and are weaker compared to unde
rdoped copper-oxides or cobalt-oxide superconductors. The spin lattice relaxation rate 1/T_1 decreases below T_c with no coherence peak and shows a step-wise variation at low temperatures, which is indicative of multiple superconducting gaps, as in the electron-doped Pr(La)FeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_{x}$. Furthermore, no evidence was obtained for a microscopic coexistence of a long-range magnetic and superconductivity.
The origin of the electronic nematicity in FeSe, which occurs below a tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural transition temperature $T_s$ ~ 90 K, well above the superconducting transition temperature $T_c = 9$ K, is one of the most important unresolve
d puzzles in the study of iron-based superconductors. In both spin- and orbital-nematic models, the intrinsic magnetic excitations at $mathbf{Q}_1=(1, 0)$ and $mathbf{Q}_2=(0, 1)$ of twin-free FeSe are expected to behave differently below $T_s$. Although anisotropic spin fluctuations below 10 meV between $mathbf{Q}_1$ and $mathbf{Q}_2$ have been unambiguously observed by inelastic neutron scattering around $T_c (<<T_s)$, it remains unclear whether such an anisotropy also persists at higher energies and associates with the nematic transition $T_s$. Here we use resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) to probe the high-energy magnetic excitations of uniaxial-strain detwinned FeSe. A prominent anisotropy between the magnetic excitations along the $H$ and $K$ directions is found to persist to $sim200$ meV, which is even more pronounced than the anisotropy of spin waves in BaFe$_2$As$_2$. This anisotropy decreases gradually with increasing temperature and finally vanishes at a temperature around the nematic transition temperature $T_s$. Our results reveal an unprecedented strong spin-excitation anisotropy with a large energy scale well above the $d_{xz}/d_{yz}$ orbital splitting, suggesting that the nematic phase transition is primarily spin-driven. Moreover, the measured high-energy spin excitations are dispersive and underdamped, which can be understood from a local-moment perspective. Our findings provide the much-needed understanding of the mechanism for the nematicity of FeSe and point to a unified description of the correlation physics across seemingly distinct classes of Fe-based superconductors.
We determine the phase diagram of LaFe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$AsO single crystals by using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Up to a nominal doping of $x=0.03$, it follows the phase diagram for F-doped polycrystals. Above $x=0.03$, the F-doped samples become s
uperconducting, whereas for Co-doping the structural and magnetic transitions can be observed up to $x=0.042$, and superconductivity occurs only for higher doping levels and with reduced transition temperatures. For dopings up to $x=0.056$, we find evidence for short-range magnetic order. By means of relaxation-rate measurements, we map out the magnetic fluctuations that reveal the interplay of nematicity and magnetism. Above the nematic ordering, the spin fluctuations in LaFe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$AsO are identical to those in Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$)$_2$As$_2$, suggesting that nematicity in LaFeAsO is a result of the fluctuating spin density wave as well.
