Neutron Spin Resonance in the 112-Type Iron-Based Superconductor.

We use inelastic neutron scattering to study the low-energy spin excitations of the 112-type iron pnictide Ca_{0.82}La_{0.18}Fe_{0.96}Ni_{0.04}As_{2} with bulk superconductivity below T_{c}=22  K. A two-dimensional spin resonance mode is found around E=11  meV, where the resonance energy is almost temperature independent and linearly scales with T_{c} along with other iron-based superconductors. Polarized neutron analysis reveals the resonance is nearly isotropic in spin space without any L modulations. Because of the unique monoclinic structure with additional zigzag arsenic chains, the As 4p orbitals contribute to a three-dimensional hole pocket around the Γ point and an extra electron pocket at the X point. Our results suggest that the energy and momentum distribution of the spin resonance does not directly respond to the k_{z} dependence of the fermiology, and the spin resonance intrinsically is a spin-1 mode from singlet-triplet excitations of the Cooper pairs in the case of weak spin-orbital coupling.
