Abstract

We report nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of the intercalated iron selenide superconductor (Tl,Rb)yFe2−xSe2 (Tc=32 K). Single-crystal measurements up to 480 K on both 77Se and 87Rb nuclei show a superconducting phase with no magnetic order. The Knight shifts K and relaxation rates 1/T1T increase very strongly with temperature above Tc, before flattening at 400 K. The quadratic T-dependence and perfect proportionality of both K and 1/T1T data demonstrate their origin in paramagnetic moments. A minimal model for this pseudogap-type response is not a missing density of states, but rather two additive contributions from the itinerant electronic and local magnetic components, a framework unifying the K and 1/T1T data in many iron-based superconductors.
