Abstract

Although the nature of the superconducting state has been intensively studied in FeSe, many fundamental issues including the pairing symmetry and superconducting fluctuations are still highly controversial. Here, we report a revised Se77-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study on the superconducting state of Se77-enriched bulk FeSe. Below the superconducting temperature (Tc), by carefully avoiding the rf heating effect, a remarkable linewidth broadening and obvious reduction of the Knight shift are observed under external magnetic field along both in-plane and out-of-plane directions, suggesting an intrinsic superconducting nature. These exotic results unambiguously rule out the possibility of chiral p-wave pairing, and favor a pairing scenario with the mixing of s± and d wave. A slight decrease of the Knight shift well above Tc is also revealed under a moderated external magnetic field, suggesting exotic superconducting fluctuations beyond phase fluctuations in the two-dimensional limit. These renewed NMR results provide valuable constraints for the theoretical models on the exotic superconductivity in FeSe.
