Abstract

P 31 and A 75 s NMR measurements were performed in superconducting BaFe2( As0.67P0.33)2 with Tc =30 K. The nuclear-spin-lattice relaxation rate T 1 -1 and the Knight shift in the normal state indicate the development of antiferromagnetic fluctuations, and T 1 -1 in the superconducting (SC) state decreases without a coherence peak just below Tc, as observed in (Ba1-x Kx) Fe2 As 2. In contrast to other iron arsenide superconductors, the T 1 -1 T behavior is observed below 4 K, indicating the presence of a residual density of states at zero energy. Our results suggest that strikingly different SC gaps appear in BaFe2 (As1-x Px)2despite a comparable Tc value, an analogous phase diagram, and similar Fermi surfaces to (Ba1-x Kx) Fe2 As2.
