Description
Summary:Magnetic excitation spectra of Ba(Fe ... Co ... ) ... As ... obtained for aligned crystals with the superconducting transition temperature T ... ~23 K are presented after an overview of results of our preceding studies on the symmetry of the order parameter ... Although many researchers have reported that their experimental results are consistently explained by the so-called S ... symmetry, and believe that the spin-fluctuation is relevant to the superconducting mechanism of Fe pnictide superconductors. However, the situation is not so simple, because almost all these data can be understood by the S ++ -symmetry, too. Furthermore, as we first pointed out and discussed in detail, the rates of the T ... suppression by nonmagnetic impurities can hardly be explained by the S plus or minus symmetry. Here, we show our own data of the magnetic excitation spectra of Ba(Fe ... Co ... ) ... As ... , and discuss which one of the S plus or minus and S ++ -symmetries can better describe the characteristics of the peak observed there. These processes are important, because the S plus or minus and S ++ symmetries are connected with the spin-fluctuation mechanism and a newly proposed one related to the orbital degrees of freedom of the systems, respectively.
