Abstract
An 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopic study of iron-based layered superconductors La 0.87Ca 0.13FePO and LaFeAsO 0.93F 0.07 under external magnetic fields of up to 14 T was performed. Our results suggest that hyperfine fields induced by local magnetic moments are, if any, small and that the magnetic feature of Fe in La 0.87Ca 0.13FePO and LaFeAsO 0.93F 0.07 is most likely to be paramagnetism with itinerant electrons. This feature is confirmed both above and below the transition temperature for LaFeAsO 0.93F 0.07. Furthermore, the temperature dependence of the iron-specific phonon density of states in La 0.87Ca 0.13-FePO was measured by using the nuclear resonant inelastic scattering of synchrotron radiation. We have found that the temperature- dependent change in the iron-specific phonon density of states of La 0.87Ca 0.13FePO was smaller than that of LaFeAsO 0.89F 0.11.
