Abstract
As NMR spin-lattice relaxation () and spin-echo decay () rate measurements were performed in a single crystal of Ba(FeRh)As superconductor. Below the superconducting transition temperature , when the magnetic field is applied along the axes, a peak in both relaxation rates is observed. Remarkably that peak is suppressed for . Those maxima in and have been ascribed to the flux lines lattice motions and the corresponding correlation times and pinning energy barriers have been derived on the basis of a heuristic model. Further information on the flux lines motion was derived from the narrowing of As NMR linewidth below and found to be consistent with that obtained from measurements. All the experimental results are described in the framework of thermally activated vortices motions.
