Abstract
Inelastic neutron scattering measurements on manifest a neutron spin resonance in the superconducting state with anisotropic dispersion within the Fe layer. Whereas the resonance is sharply peaked at the antiferromagnetic (AFM) wave vector along the orthorhombic axis, the resonance disperses upwards away from along the axis. In contrast to the downward dispersing resonance and hourglass shape of the spin excitations in superconducting cuprates, the resonance in electron-doped compounds possesses a magnonlike upwards dispersion.
