Magnetic and Quasiparticle Excitation Spectra of an Itinerant J1-J2 model for Iron Pnictides

Marcello Silva Neto (UFRJ)

We calculate the magnetic and quasiparticle excitation spectra of an
itinerant J1-J2 model for iron pnictide superconductors. In addition to an acoustic spin-wave branch, the magnetic spectrum has a second, optical branch, resulting from the coupled four-sublattice magnetic structure.
The spin-wave velocity has also a planar directional anisotropy, due to the collinear/striped antiferromagnetism. Within the magnetically ordered phase, the quasiparticle spectrum is composed of two Dirac cones, resulting from the folding of the magnetic Brillouin zone. We discuss the relevance of our findings to the understanding of both neutron scattering and photoemission
spectroscopy results for SrFe2As2.
