Abstract

The relationship between antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin fluctuations (SF), nematic fluctuations, and superconductivity (SC) has been central to understanding the pairing mechanism in iron-based superconductors (IBSCs). Iron chalcogenides, which hold the simplest crystal structure in IBSCs, provide a good platform to investigate the relationship. Here, we report Se77 and Te125 nuclear magnetic resonance studies of FeSe0.47Te0.53, which is located close to a nematic quantum critical point (QCP), under pressures up to 1.35 GPa. Both the superconducting critical temperature and AFMSF were found to be enhanced under pressure, which suggests a correlation between SC and AFMSF in FeSe0.47Te0.53. However, the contribution of AFMSF to SC in FeSe0.47Te0.53 was found to be much less compared to that in FeSe1−xSx, suggesting that nematic fluctuations play a dominant role in the SC in FeSe1−xTex around the nematic QCP.
