Phonon density of states and the search for a resonance mode in LaFeAsO<sub>0.85</sub>F<sub>0.15</sub>(T<sub><i>c</i></sub>= 26 K)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
While the high transition temperatures suggest that the conventional BCS phononmediated mechanism may not provide the main pairing mechanism in the recently discovered RFeAsO1−xFx (1111-type) superconductors, there is, as yet, no consensus, despite extensive experimental and theoretical study. We report here the results of an inelastic neutron scattering investigation of an overdoped polycrystalline sample of LaFeAsO1−xFx with x = 0.15 (Tc = 26 K). Four excitation peaks were observed at 13.6±1.5, 24.2±0.8, 32.2±0.5, and 41.4±1.0 meV. They were identified as phonon modes based on their wavevector and temperature dependence. The peak positions agree well with first-principles calculations of phonon density of states as well as experimental data on both the insulating parent and optimally doped LaFeAsO1−xFx compounds. No evidence for the presence of a resonance mode was found. We found that the phonon density of states of the x = 0.15 sample remains unchanged below Tc and is similar to samples with other fluorine concentrations. This suggests that a standard electron-phonon pairing mechanism cannot explain the high transition temperatures observed in these materials.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
