Abstract

Electron spin resonance measurements in EuFe2As2 single crystals revealed an absorption spectrum of a single resonance with Dysonian line shape. Above the spin-density wave (SDW) transition at T-SDW = 190 K the spectra are isotropic and the Eu spins relax via the conduction electrons resulting in a Korringa-type increase in the linewidth. Below T-SDW, a distinct anisotropy develops and the relaxation behavior of the Eu spins changes drastically into one with characteristic properties of a magnetic insulating system, where dipolar and crystal-field interactions dominate. This indicates a spatial confinement of the conduction electrons to the FeAs layers in the SDW state.
