Neutron-scattering measurements of spin excitations in LaFeAsO and Ba(Fe(0.953)Co(0.047))(2)As(2): evidence for a sharp enhancement of spin fluctuations by nematic order.

Inelastic neutron scattering is employed to investigate the impact of electronic nematic order on the magnetic spectra of LaFeAsO and Ba(Fe(0.953)Co(0.047))(2)As(2).

β-Mn-type Co(8+x)Zn(12-x) as a defect cubic Laves phase: site preferences, magnetism, and electronic structure.

The results of crystallographic analysis, magnetic characterization, and theoretical assessment of β-Mn-type Co-Zn intermetallics prepared using high-temperature methods are presented. These β-Mn Co-Zn phases crystallize in the space group P4(1)32 [Pearson symbol cP20; a = 6.3555(7)-6.
