Description

The electron spin resonance absorption spectrum of Eu2+ ions serves as a probe of the normal and superconducting state in Eu0.5K0.5Fe2As2. The spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1ESR obtained from the ESR linewidth exhibits a Korringa-like linear increase with temperature above TC evidencing a normal Fermi-liquid behavior. Below 45 K deviations from the Korringa-law occur which are ascribed to enhanced magnetic fluctuations upon approaching the superconducting transition. Below TC the spin lattice relaxation rate 1/T1ESR follows a T1.5-behavior without the appearance of a coherence peak.
