Abstract

Single crystals of Fe{sub 1+x}Te{sub 1-y}Se{sub y} have been grown with a controlled Fe excess and Se doping, and the crystal structure has been refined for various compositions. The systematic investigation of magnetic and superconducting properties as a function of the structural parameters shows how the material can be driven into various ground states, depending on doping and the structural modifications. Our results prove that the occupation of the additional Fe site, Fe2, enhances the spin localization. By reducing the excess Fe, the antiferromagnetic ordering is weakened, and the superconducting ground state is favored. We have found that both Fe excess and Se doping in synergy determine the properties of the material and an improved 3-dimensional phase diagram is proposed. - Single crystals of Fe{sub 1+x}Te{sub 1-y}Se{sub y} have been grown with a controlled Fe off-stoichiometry and Se doping and the crystal structure has been refined for various compositions, thus proving the effect of both Fe excess and Se-substitutions on the structural properties. Either antiferromagnetic or superconducting ground state is driven by doping and related structural modifications. An improved 3-D phase diagram is proposed.

Reorientation of the diagonal double-stripe spin structure at Fe _1+yTe bulk and thin-film surfaces

Journal Article Hanke, Torben ; Singh, Udai Raj ; Cornils, Lasse ; ... - Nature Communications

Here, establishing the relation between ubiquitous antiferromagnetism in the parent compounds of unconventional superconductors and their superconducting phase is important for understanding the complex physics in these materials. Going from bulk systems to thin films additionally affects their phase diagram. For Fe _1+yTe, the parent compound of Fe _1+ySe _1$-x$Tex superconductors, bulk-sensitive neutron diffraction revealed an in-plane oriented diagonal double-stripe antiferromagnetic spin structure. Here we show by spin-resolved scanning tunnelling microscopy that the spin direction at the surfaces of bulk Fe _1+yTe and thin films grown on the topological insulator Bi ₂Te ₃ is canted out of the high-symmetry directionsmore »« less

Interband electronic transitions and phase transformation of multiferroic Bi{sub 1−x}La{sub x}Fe{sub 1−y}Ti{sub y}O{sub 3} ceramics revealed by temperature-dependent spectroscopic ellipsometry

Journal Article Xu, L. P. ; Jiang, P. P. ; Duan, Z. H. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Optical properties and phase transition of Bi{sub 1−x}La{sub x}Fe{sub 1−y}Ti{sub y}O{sub 3} (BLFTO) ceramics with different composition (0.02 ≤ x ≤ 0.10, 0.01 ≤ y ≤ 0.06) have been investigated by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) in the temperature range of −70–450 °C. The real part of the complex dielectric function ε{sub 1} increases with the temperature. Meanwhile, the imaginary part ε{sub 2} in the low-energy region decreases with the temperature and has an opposite trend in the high-energy side. Four typical interband transitions (E{sub a} ∼ 2.50 eV, E{sub b} ∼ 2.70 eV, E{sub c} ∼ 3.60 eV, and E{sub d} ∼ 4.25 eV) can be observed from the second derivative of the complexmore »« less

Role of chalcogen vapor annealing in inducing bulk superconductivity in Fe _1+yTe _1-xSe _x [How does annealing in chalcogen vapor induce superconductivity in Fe _1+yTe _-xSe _x?]

Journal Article Lin, Wenzhi ; Ganesh, P. ; Gianfrancesco, Anthony ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Recent investigations have shown that Fe _1+yTe _1-xSe _x can be made superconducting by annealing it in Se and O vapors. The current lore is that these chalcogen vapors induce superconductivity by removing the magnetic excess Fe atoms. To investigate this phenomenon we performed a combination of magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and transport measurements together with scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations on Fe _1+yTe _1-xSe _x treated with Te vapor. We conclude that the main role of the Te vapor is to quench the magnetic moments of the excess Fe atoms by forming FeTe _mmore »« less

Synthesis and characterization of perovskite-type Sr{sub x}Y{sub 1−x}FeO{sub 3−δ} (0.63≤x<1.0) and Sr{sub 0.75}Y{sub 0.25}Fe{sub 1−y}M{sub y}O{sub 3−δ} (M=Cr, Mn, Ni), (y=0.2, 0.33, 0.5)

Journal Article Biendicho, J. J. ; The ISIS Facility, STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Didcot, OX11 0QX Oxfordshire ; Shafeie, S. ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Oxygen-deficient ferrates with the cubic perovskite structure Sr{sub x}Y{sub 1−x}FeO{sub 3−δ} were prepared in air (0.71≤x≤0.91) as well as in N{sub 2} (x=0.75 and 0.79) at 1573 K. The oxygen content of the compounds prepared in air increases with increasing strontium content from 3−δ=2.79(2) for x=0.75 to 3−δ=2.83(2) for x=0.91. Refinement of the crystal structure of Sr{sub 0.75}Y{sub 0.25}FeO{sub 2.79} using TOF neutron powder diffraction (NPD) data shows high anisotropic atomic displacement parameter (ADP) for the oxygen atom resulting from a substantial cation and anion disorder.

Insulating and metallic spin glass in K _xFe _2-δ-yNi _ySe ₂ (0.06 ≤ y ≤ 1.44 ) single crystals

Journal Article Ryu, Hyejin ; Abeykoon, Milinda ; Wang, Kefeng ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We report electron doping effects by Ni in K _xFe _2-δ-yNi _ySe₂ (0.06 ≤ y ≤ 1.44) single crystal alloys. A rich ground state phase diagram is observed. Thus, a small amount of Ni (~ 4%) suppressed superconductivity below 1.8 K, inducing insulating spin glass magnetic ground state for higher Ni content. With further Ni substitution, metallic resistivity is restored. For high Ni concentration in the lattice the unit cell symmetry is high symmetry I4/ mmm with no phase separation whereas both I4/ m + I4/ mmm space groups were detected in the phase separated crystals when concentration of Nimore »« less
