Abstract
The static and the dynamic spin correlations in the low-temperature collapsed tetragonal and the high-temperature tetragonal phase in have been investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements. Through the temperature () dependence of the nuclear spin lattice relaxation rates (1) and the Knight shifts, although stripe-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin correlations are realized in the high-temperature tetragonal phase, no trace of the AFM spin correlations can be found in the nonsuperconducting, low-temperature, collapsed tetragonal (c) phase. Given that there is no magnetic broadening in NMR spectra, together with the -independent behavior of magnetic susceptibility and the dependence of 1, we conclude that Fe spin correlations are completely quenched statically and dynamically in the nonsuperconducting c phase in .
