Contrasting Spin Dynamics between Underdoped and Overdoped Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2

Abstract

We report the first NMR investigation of spin dynamics in the overdoped nonsuperconducting regime of Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2 up to x=0.26. We demonstrate that the absence of interband transitions with large momentum transfer Q{AF} approximately (pi/a,0) between the hole and electron Fermi surfaces results in complete suppression of antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations for x greater than or approximately 0.15. Our experimental results provide direct evidence for a correlation between T{c} and the strength of Q{AF} antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations.
