Abstract

We report A75s nuclear magnetic resonance measurements of the spin-lattice relaxation in the superconducting (SC) state of LaFeAsO0.9F0.1 and As-deficient LaFeAs1−δO0.9F0.1. The temperature behavior of 1/T1 below Tc changes drastically from a T3 dependence for LaFeAsO0.9F0.1 to a T5 dependence for the As-deficient sample. These results, together with the previously reported unexpected increase in Tc and the slope of the upper critical field near Tc for the As-deficient sample, are discussed in terms of nonuniversal SC gaps in Fe pnictides and the effect of As deficiency as an exotic case where nonmagnetic “smart” impurities even stabilize an s±-wave superconductor or within a scenario of a disorder-driven change to s++ superconductivity.
