Abstract

We report the results of investigation of high-temperature superconductor (HTSC) LaFeO (1−x)F x As at x = 0.15. We applied the XRD method, the measurement of the hysteresis curve and resistivity, as well as the Mössbauer measurements at the temperature range 4.2–300 K. We show that in the given sample, owing to doping by fluorine, full suppression of antiferromagnetism is not accompanied by the rise of superconductivity. Instead, we observe a high-temperature (at T ≤ 40 K) Kondo effect, which indicates a strong coupling of electron’s spins with the magnetic moments of impurities. We also find a correlation between the revealed high-temperature Kondo effect and the appearance of a quadrupole splitting in the Mössbauer spectra below 40 K. The revealed effects can shed light on the mechanism of superconductivity in the iron-containing HTSC.
