Unusual relationship between magnetism and superconductivity in FeTe(0.5)Se(0.5).

چکیده
We use neutron scattering to study magnetic excitations in crystals near the ideal superconducting composition of FeTe(0.5)Se(0.5). Two types of excitations are found, a resonance at (0.5,0.5,0) and incommensurate fluctuations on either side of this position. We show that the two sets of magnetic excitations behave differently with doping, with the resonance being fixed in position while the incommensurate excitations move as the doping is changed. These unusual results show that a common behavior of the low energy magnetic excitations is not necessary for pairing in these materials.

Interfacial superconductivity in a bi-collinear antiferromagnetically ordered FeTe monolayer on a topological insulator
The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in Fe-based compounds triggered numerous investigations on the interplay between superconductivity and magnetism, and on the enhancement of transition temperatures through interface effects. It is widely believed that the emergence of optimal superconductivity is intimately linked to the suppression of long-range antiferromagnetic (AFM) order,...
متن کاملCoexistence of incommensurate magnetism and superconductivity in Fe1+ySexTe1−x
We have studied the superconducting and magnetic properties of Fe1+ySexTe1−x single crystals (0≤x≤0.5) by magnetic susceptibility, muon-spin rotation, and neutron diffraction. We find three regimes of behavior: (i) commensurate magnetic order for x≲0.1, (ii) bulk superconductivity for x∼0.5, and (iii) a range x≈0.25-0.45 in which superconductivity coexists with incommensurate magnetic order. Th...
متن کاملSpin excitations in hole-overdoped iron-based superconductors
Understanding the overall features of magnetic excitation is essential for clarifying the mechanism of Cooper pair formation in iron-based superconductors. In particular, clarifying the relationship between magnetism and superconductivity is a central challenge because magnetism may play a key role in their exotic superconductivity. BaFe2As2 is one of ideal systems for such investigation becaus...
متن کاملSpin-liquid polymorphism in a correlated electron system on the threshold of superconductivity.
We report neutron scattering measurements which reveal spin-liquid polymorphism in an "11" iron chalcogenide superconductor. It occurs when a poorly metallic magnetic state of FeTe is tuned toward superconductivity by substitution of a small amount of tellurium with isoelectronic sulfur. We observe a liquid-like magnetic response, which is described by the coexistence of two disordered magnetic...

Our inelastic neutron scattering study of spin excitations in iron telluride reveals remarkable thermal evolution of the collective magnetism. In the temperature range relevant for the superconductivity in FeTe(1-x)Se(x) materials, where the local-moment behavior is dominated by liquidlike correlations of emergent spin plaquettes, we observe unusual, marked increase of magnetic fluctuations upo...
