Abstract | |||||||||
| NMR longitudinal relaxation rates 1/T1 and Knight shifts K have been measured for superconducting samples of LaFe1-yCoyAsO1-xFx with y=0.0 and 0.0075 and for a nonsuperconducting metallic sample with y=0.1, where the x values are always fixed at 0.11. The temperature (T) dependence the relaxation rates 1/T1 of the superconducting samples has been found to be markedly different from the behavior 1/T1 T^(2.5-3.0) reported by many groups in the entire T range measured (from the temperature immediately below the superconducting transition temperature Tc down to (0.1-0.2)Tc). The nonexistence of the coherence peak has also been found. Based on the results of the measurements and other kinds of existing data, arguments are presented on the superconducting symmetry of the Fe pnictide systems, where the several points which cannot be easily understood by existing theories, are pointed out. Results of the measurements on the nonsuperconducting metallic samples are also presented.. Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, submitted to J. Phys. Soc. Jpn | |||||||||
