Abstract

We will probe the intrinsic behavior of spin susceptibility χspin in the LaFeAsO1-xFx superconductor (x ∼ 0.1, Tc ∼ 27 K) using 19F and 75As NMR techniques. Our new results firmly establish a pseudo-gap behavior with ΔPG/kB ∼ 140 K. The estimated magnitude of χspin at 290 K, χspin ∼ 1.8 × 10 -4 emu/mol-Fe, is approximately twice larger than that in high T c cuprates. We also show that χspin levels off below ∼50 K down to Tc.
