Abstract

Inelastic neutron scattering has been performed on powder sample of an iron-based superconductor BaFe2(As0.65P 0.35)2 with superconducting transition temperature (T c) = 30 K, whose superconducting (SC) order parameter is expected to have line node. In the normal state, constant-E scan of dynamical structure factor, S(Q, E), exhibits a peak structure centered at momentum transfer Q ∼ 1.20 -1, corresponding to antiferromagnetic wave vector. Below Tc, the redistribution of the magnetic spectral weight takes place, resulting in the formation of a peak at E ∼ 12 meV and a gap below 6 meV. The enhanced magnetic peak structure is ascribed to the spin resonance mode, evidencing sign change in the SC order parameter similar to other iron-based high-Tc superconductors. It suggests that fully-gapped s ± symmetry dominates in this superconductor, which gives rise to high-Tc (=30 K) despite the nodal symmetry.
