Abstract

Magnetic excitations in a heavily electron-doped antiferromagnet, LaFeAsO$_{0.5}$D$_{0.5}$, have been investigated using powder inelastic neutron scattering. Unlike other parent compounds of the iron-based superconductors, the magnetic excitation gap in LaFeAsO$_{0.5}$D$_{0.5}$ was not detected down to the lowest measured temperature of 4 K. This result can be understood as a result of quasi-isotropy within the ab plane, which is consistent with the band calculation result that the $d_{xy}$ orbital plays the dominant role in the magnetism of LaFeAsO$_{0.5}$H$_{0.5}$. In addition, the intensities of the magnetic excitations in this phase are much stronger than those in nondoped LaFeAsO. Even in the paramagnetic phase, the magnetic excitation in LaFeAsO$_{0.5}$D$_{0.5}$ persists. These results corroborate recent studies showing that the electron doping enhances the localized nature in this system.
