Imaging the real space structure of the spin fluctuations in an iron-based superconductor

The knowledge of how spin fluctuations affect high-Tc superconductivity comes exclusively from neutron scattering. Here, Chi et al. establish characteristic excitation features of the spin fluctuations in real space from the scanning tunnelling spectra in an iron-based superconductor.
