Abstract

Nuclear-magnetic-resonance measurements of an iron (Fe)-based superconductor LaFeAsO1−xFx (x=0.08 and 0.14) were performed at ambient pressure and under pressure. The relaxation rate 1/T1 for the overdoped samples (x=0.14) shows T-linear behavior just above Tc, and pressure application enhances 1/T1T similar to the behavior of Tc. This implies that 1/T1T=constant originates from the Korringa relation, and an increase in the density of states at the Fermi energy D(EF) leads to the enhancement of Tc. In the underdoped samples (x=0.08), 1/T1 measured at ambient pressure also shows T-linear behavior in a wide temperature range above Tc. However, 1/T1T shows Curie-Weiss-type T dependence at 3.0 GPa accompanied by a small increase in Tc, suggesting that predominant low-frequency antiferromagnetic fluctuation is not important for development of superconductivity or remarkable enhancement of Tc. The qualitatively different features between underdoped and overdoped samples are systematically explained by a band calculation with hole and electron pockets.
