Persistence of slow fluctuations in the overdoped regime of Ba(Fe1-xRhx)2As2 superconductors

We present nuclear magnetic resonance evidence that very slow ($\leq 1$ MHz) spin fluctuations persist into the overdoped regime of Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Rh$_{x}$)$_2$As$_2$ superconductors. Measurements of the $^{75}$As spin echo decay rate, obtained both with Hahn Echo and Carr Purcell Meiboom Gill pulse sequences, show that the slowing down of spin fluctuations can be described by short-range diffusive dynamics, likely involving domain walls motions separating $(π/a,0)$ from $(0,π/a)$ correlated regions. This slowing down of the fluctuations is weakly sensitive to the external magnetic field and, although fading away with doping, it extends deeply into the overdoped regime.

Impurity induced Local Magnetism and Density of States in the superconducting state of YBa2Cu3O7

Oxygen NMR is used to probe the local influence of nonmagnetic Zn and magnetic Ni impurities in the superconducting state of optimally doped high Tc YBa2Cu3O7. Zn and Ni induce a staggered paramagnetic polarization, similar to that evidenced above Tc, with a typical extension xi=3 cell units for Zn and xi>=3 for Ni. In addition, Zn is observed to induce a local density of states near the Fermi Energy in its neighbourhood, which also decays over about 3 cell units. Its magnitude decreases sharply with increasing temperature. This allows direct comparison with the STM observations done in BiSCO.
