Abstract

To elucidate the pairing states in Fe-based superconductors, we perform careful calculation of the dynamical spin susceptibility χS(q,ω)\chi^S(q, \omega) at very low temperatures (T1T \sim 1 meV). The feedback effect on both the self-energy and χS(q,ω)\chi^S(q, \omega) from the superconducting gap are self-consistently analyzed based on the fluctuation-exchange (FLEX) approximation. In the s+s_{+-}-wave state, which has sign-reversal in the gap function, χS(q,ω)\chi^S(q, \omega) at the nesting momentum q=Qq = Q shows a resonance peak even when the system is away from the magnetic quantum-critical-point (QCP). In the s++s_{++}-wave state that has no sign-reversal, χS(q,ω)\chi^S(q, \omega) shows a large hump structure when the system is close to the magnetic QCP. This result confirms the validity of self-energy driven resonance-like peak in s++s_{++}-wave state proposed in our previous semi-microscopic study: The enhancement in χS(q,ω)\chi^S(q, \omega) due to self-energy effect exceeds the suppression due to coherence factor effect near magnetic QCP. We stress that the hump structure in the s++s_{++}-wave state given by the FLEX method smoothly changes to resonance-like sharp peak structure as the system approaches magnetic QCP, which was not reported in our previous studies. The obtained ω\omega- and TT-dependences of χS(q,ω)\chi^S(q, \omega) in the s++s_{++}-wave state resemble to the resonance-like feature in inelastic neutron scattering spectra recently observed in Na(Fe,Co)As and FeSe
