31P NMR Investigation of the Superconductor LiFeP (Tc = 5 K)
We investigate the static and dynamic spin susceptibility of the 111 type
Fe-based superconductor LiFeP with Tc ~ 5 K through the measurement of Knight
shift 31K and the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 at 31P site by nuclear
magnetic resonance. The constant 31K, small magnitudes of 1/T1T, along with the
resistivity rho ~ T^2 all point to the weak spin correlations in LiFeP. 1/T1T
display small enhancement toward Tc, indicating that the superconductivity is
intimately correlated with the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations.Comment: Accepted for publication in EP
