Spin-pairing and penetration depth measurements from nuclear magnetic resonance in NaFe_(0.975)Co_(0.025)As

We have performed $^{75}$As nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) Knight shift measurements on single crystals of NaFe$_{0.975}$Co$_{0.025}$As to show that its superconductivity is a spin-paired, singlet state consistent with predictions of the weak-coupling BCS theory. We use a spectator nucleus, $^{23}$Na, uncoupled from the superconducting condensate, to determine the diamagnetic magnetization and to correct for its effect on the $^{75}$As NMR spectra. The resulting temperature dependence of the spin susceptibility follows the Yosida function as predicted by BCS for an isotropic, single-valued energy gap. Additionally, we have analyzed the $^{23}$Na spectra that become significantly broadened by vortices to obtain the superconducting penetration depth as a function of temperature with $\lambda_{ab}(0) = 5,327 \pm$ 78$\,\AA$.
