چکیده

Using polarized and unpolarized neutron scattering, we show that interstitial Fe in superconducting Fe(1+y)Te(1-x)Se(x) induces a magnetic Friedel-like oscillation that diffracts at Q⊥=(1/2 0) and involves >50 neighboring Fe sites. The interstitial >2μ(B) moment is surrounded by compensating ferromagnetic four-spin clusters that may seed double stripe ordering in Fe(1+y)Te. A semimetallic five-band model with (1/2 1/2) Fermi surface nesting and fourfold symmetric superexchange between interstitial Fe and two in-plane nearest neighbors largely accounts for the observed diffraction.

for an Invited Paper for the MAR10 Meeting of The American Physical Society Structure, magnetic order and excitations of the Fe(Se,Te) superconductor system WEI BAO, Department of Physics, Renmin University of China The Fe(Se,Te) material, instead of being chalcogen deficient as initially proposed, in general has excessive Fe at an interstitial site [1]. It shares the similar ferminology of the...

Validation of interstitial iron and consequences of nonstoichiometry in mackinawite (Fe(1+x)S).

A theoretical investigation of the relationship between chemical composition and electronic structure was performed on the nonstoichiometric iron sulfide, mackinawite (Fe(1+x)S), which is isostructural and isoelectronic with the superconducting Fe(1+x)Se and Fe(1+x)(Te(1-y)Se(y)) phases. Even though Fe(1+x)S has not been measured for superconductivity, the effects of stoichiometry on transport ...

Phase diagram of Fe1+y(Te1-xSex): evolution from antiferromagnetism to superconductivity

Iron chalcogenide Fe1+y(Te,Se) is the simplified version of Fe-based superconductors [1,2] and has a unique antiferromagnetic (AFM) structure in the parent compound [3,4]. In iron pnictides the propagation direction of the SDW-type AFM order is along the edge of the Fe square lattice [5-7], while the AFM order in chalcogenide Fe1+yTe propagates along the diagonal direction of the Fe square latt...

Development of a ferromagnetic component in the superconducting state of Fe-excess Fe1.12Te1-xSex by electronic charge redistribution

The general picture established so far for the links between superconductivity and magnetic ordering in iron chalcogenide Fe1+y(Te(1-x)Sex) is that the substitution of Se for Te directly drives the system from the antiferromagnetic end into the superconducting regime. Here, we report on the observation of a ferromagnetic component that developed together with the superconducting transition in F...
