Abstract

An optimally doped iron-based superconductor LaFeAsO0.92F0.08 with Tc=29 K has been studied by inelastic powder neutron scattering. The magnetic excitation at Q=1.15 Å−1 is enhanced below Tc, leading to a peak at Eres∼13 meV as the resonance mode, in addition to the formation of a gap at low energy below the crossover energy Δc∼10 meV. The peak energy at Q=1.15 Å−1 corresponds to 5.2kBTc in good agreement with the other values of resonance mode observed in iron-based superconductors. Although the phonon density of states has a peak at the same energy as the resonance mode in the present superconductor, the Q dependence is consistent with the resonance being of predominately magnetic origin.
