This three-year $1,121,346 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund experimental and theoretical studies of iron pnictides through zero-field nuclear magnetic resonance at George Mason University. The project aims to investigate magnetic fluctuations in iron-based superconducting materials believed to provide the "glue" binding electrons into pairs enabling superconductivity. Researchers will establish the amplitude of nematic spin fluctuations averaged over resonance time by comparing measured field gradients with density functional theory calculations. Students will also be trained in ab initio calculations and zero-field nuclear magnetic resonance of superconducting single crystals. The funding supports cutting-edge research and workforce development in understanding the mechanism of iron-based superconductivity.
