Spin dynamics in electron-doped pnictide superconductors

The doping dependence of spin excitations in Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)$_{2}$As$_{2}$ is studied based on a two-orbital model under RPA approximation. The interplay between the spin-density-wave (SDW) and superconductivity (SC) is considered in our calculation. Our results for the spin susceptibility are in good agreement with neutron scattering (NS) experiments in various doping ranges at temperatures (T) above and below the superconducting transition temperature T$_{c}$. For the overdoped sample where one of the two hole pockets around $Γ$ point disappears according to ARPES, we show that the imaginary part of the spin susceptibility in both SC and normal phases exhibits a gap-like behavior. This feature is consistent with the "pseudogap" as observed by recent NMR and NS experiments.
