Abstract

We report As75 nuclear quadrupole resonance studies on (Ca4Al2O6−y)(Fe2As2) with Tc=27 K. Measurement of nuclear-spin-relaxation rate 1/T1 has revealed a significant development of two-dimensional antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations down to Tc in association with the smallest As-Fe-As bond angle. Below Tc, the temperature dependence of 1/T1 without any trace of the coherence peak is well accounted for by a nodeless s±-wave multiple-gaps model. From the fact that its Tc is comparable to Tc=28 K in the optimally doped LaFeAsO1−y in which antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations are not dominant, we remark that antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations are not a unique factor for enhancing Tc among Fe-based superconductors, but a condition for optimizing superconductivity should be addressed from the lattice structure point of view.
