Abstract

We present a 77Se NMR study of the newly discovered iron selenide superconductor KyFe2-xSe2 , in which Tc =32K. Below Tc , the Knight shift 77K drops sharply with temperature, providing strong evidence for singlet pairing. Above Tc , Korringa-type relaxation indicates Fermi-liquid behavior. Our experimental results set strict constraints on the nature of possible theories for the mechanism of high-Tc superconductivity in this iron selenide system.
