Abstract

We have performed inelastic neutron-scattering measurements on a powder sample of the superconductor lithium iron selenide hydroxide Li1−xFexODFe1−ySe(x≃0.16,y≃0.02,Tc=41K). The spectrum shows an enhanced intensity below Tc over an energy range of 0.64×2Δ<E<2Δ, where Δ is the superconducting gap, and has maxima at the wave vectors Q1≃1.46 and Q2≃1.97Å−1. The behavior of this feature is consistent with the spin-resonance mode found in other unconventional superconductors, and in particular strongly resembles the spin resonance observed in the spectrum of another molecular-intercalated iron selenide Li0.6(ND2)0.2(ND3)0.8Fe2Se2. The signal can be described with a characteristic two-dimensional wave-vector (π,0.67π) in the Brillouin zone of the iron square lattice, consistent with the nesting vector between electron Fermi sheets.
