Spin anisotropy in the stoichiometric iron-based superconductor CaKFe<sub>4</sub>As<sub>4</sub>
ORAL
Abstract
In the stoichiometric iron pnictide superconductor CaKFe4As4, we have discovered triple spin resonance modes with strong L-modulation by unpolarized neutron scattering experiments. The two odd modes appear around 9.5 meV and 13 meV, and the even mode locates around 18.3 meV. [1] To study the spin anisotropy of the three modes, we performed polarized inelastic neutron scattering experiments on the same CaKFe4As4 sample. Here, I will present our recent results. These results will give better understanding on the spin-orbit coupling in iron-based superconductors, which can also enlighten us about the nature of magnetism and its relation with unconventional superconductivity.
