Abstract

We performed 77^{77}Se-NMR measurements on FeSe1x_{1-x}Sx_x, (xx = 0.12) up to 3.0 GPa at an applied magnetic field of 6.02 T, and found that the superconducting (SC) phase exhibits a remarkable double-dome structure in the pressure(PP)-temperature(TT) phase diagram which is hidden at 0 T. From the relaxation rate 1/T11/T_1 divided by TT, 1/T1T1/T_1T, a Lifshitz transition may occur at 1.0 GPa, and the dominant nesting vector could change due to topological changes in Fermi surfaces. In other words, two types of antiferromagnetic (AFM) fluctuations would exist in the PTP-T phase diagram. We conclude that the SC double domes in 12%-S doped FeSe consist of two SC states each of which correlates to a different type of AFM fluctuation. Furthermore, the strong AFM fluctuation at ambient pressure could originate from a possible hidden AFM quantum critical point.
