We investigate the extraordinary poisoning effect of Mn on superconductivity (SC) in
LaFe1−xMnxAsO0.89F0.11 [1] by means of muon spin rotation (µSR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) on compounds with x=0.025 % up to x=0.75 %. We find that the iron plane electronic environment is extremely sensitive to the addition of Mn, even though charge doping effects can be neglected. Already 0.2 % Mn suppress SC completely, while static magnetism is observed for x = 0.1 % and becomes enhanced upon further Mn substitution. This re-entrant magnetism is found to be intrinsic to the FeAs plane. A progressive increase of low energy spin fluctuations, expressed in an enhanced NQR spin-lattice relaxation T1−1, is observed upon Mn substitution. The analysis of T1−1 for the sample closest to the the crossover between SC and magnetism points towards an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point at this crossover.
