Abstract

Motivated by recent experiments on isovalent-doped 1111 iron-based superconductors LaFeAs1x_{1-{x}}Px_{x}O1y_{1-{y}}Fy_{y} and the theoretical study that followed, we investigate, within the five orbital model, the correlation between the spin fluctuation and the superconducting transition temperature, which exhibits a double dome feature upon varying the Fe-As-Fe bond angle. Around the first dome with higher TcT_c, the low energy spin fluctuation and TcT_c are not tightly correlated because the finite energy spin fluctuation also contributes to superconductivity. On the other hand, the strength of the low-energy spin fluctuation originating from the dxz/yzd_{xz/yz} orbital is correlated with TcT_c in the second dome with lower TcT_c. These calculation results are consistent with recent NMR study, and hence strongly suggest that the pairing in the iron-based superconductors is predominantly caused by the multi-orbital spin fluctuation.
