Abstract

We use neutron scattering to study the electron-doped superconducting NaFe0.985Co0.015As (Tc=14 K), which has coexisting static antiferromagnetic (AF) order (TN=31 K) and exhibits two neutron spin resonances (Er1≈3.5 meV and Er2≈6 meV) at the in-plane AF ordering wave vector QAF=Q1=(1,0) in reciprocal space. In the twinned state below the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural transition Ts, both resonance modes appear at Q1 but cannot be distinguished from Q2=(0,1). By detwinning the single crystal with uniaxial pressure along the orthorhombic b axis, we find that both resonances appear only at Q1 with vanishing intensity at Q2. Since electronic bands of the orbital dxz and dyz characters split below Ts with the dxz band sinking ∼10 meV below the Fermi surface, our results indicate that the neutron spin resonances in NaFe0.985Co0.015As arise mostly from quasiparticle excitations between the hole and electron Fermi surfaces with the dyz orbital character.
