Title: Magnetism and superconductivity in Fe1+yTe1-xSex

Abstract

Neutron scattering has played a significant role in characterizing magnetic and structural correlations in Fe$$_{1+y}$$Te$$_{1-x}$$Se$$_x$$ and their connections with superconductivity. Here we review several key aspects of the physics of iron chalcogenide superconductors where neutron studies played a key role. These topics include the phase diagram of Fe$$_{1+y}$$Te$$_{1-x}$$Se$$_{x}$$, where the doping-dependence of structural transitions can be understood from a mapping to the anisotropic random field Ising model. We then discuss orbital-selective Mott physics in the Fe chalcogenide series, where temperature-dependent magnetism in the parent material provided one of the earliest cases for orbital-selective correlation effects in a Hund's metal. Finally, we elaborate on the character of local magnetic correlations revealed by neutron scattering, its dependence on temperature and composition, and the connections to nematicity and superconductivity.
