Abstract

Low-energy spin fluctuations are studied for the electron-doped Fe-based superconductor LaFeAs-O_1-xF_x by inelastic neutron scattering up to an energy transfer of ω = 15 meV using polycrystalline samples. Superconducting samples (x = 0.057, T_c = 25K and x = 0.082, T_c = 29 K) show a dynamical spin susceptibility χ"(ω) comparable to that of the parent samples. However, χ"(ω) almost vanishes in the x = 0.158 sample, in which the superconductivity is highly suppressed. These results are compatible with the theoretical suggestions that spin fluctuation plays an important role in superconductivity.
