A superconducting-to-magnetic transition is reported for
LaFe1−xMnxAsO0.89F0.11 where a per thousand amount of Mn
impurities is dispersed. By employing local spectroscopic techniques like muon
spin rotation (muSR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) on compounds with
Mn contents ranging from x=0.025% to x=0.75%, we find that the electronic
properties are extremely sensitive to the Mn impurities. In fact, a small
amount of Mn as low as 0.2% suppresses superconductivity completely. Static
magnetism, involving the FeAs planes, is observed to arise for x > 0.1% and
becomes further enhanced upon increasing Mn substitution. Also a progressive
increase of low energy spin fluctuations, leading to an enhancement of the NQR
spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1, is observed upon Mn substitution. The
analysis of 1/T1 for the sample closest to the the crossover between
superconductivity and magnetism (x = 0.2%) points towards the presence of an
antiferromagnetic quantum critical point around that doping level.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figure
