The new alpha-Fe(Te,Se) superconductors share the common iron building block and ferminology with LaFeAsO BaFe(2)As(2) families of superconductors. In contrast predicted commensurate spin-density-wave order at nesting wave vector (pi, 0), a completely different magnetic composition tunable propagation (deltapi, deltapi) was determined for parent compound Fe_{1+y}Te in this powder single-crystal neutron diffraction study. antiferromagnetic survives as short-range one even highest T_{C}...

Although share similar layered structure with ZrSiS, our studies show the Fermi surface (FS) enclosing nodal line 2D character ZrSiTe, contrast 3D-like FS Another important property revealed experiment is...
Phase-sensitive measurements were made on Sr2RuO4 to establish unambiguously the odd-parity pairing in this material. The critical current of Au(0.5)In(0.5)-Sr2RuO4 superconducting quantum interference devices prepared single crystals was found be a maximum for with junctions same side crystal and minimum opposite sides, limit zero magnetic flux; these findings indicate that phase order parameter changes by pi under inversion. This result verifies symmetry formation spin-triplet Cooper pairs Sr2RuO4.
Abstract The promise of high-density and low-energy-consumption devices motivates the search for layered structures that stabilize chiral spin textures such as topologically protected skyrmions. At same time, recently discovered long-range intrinsic magnetic orders in two-dimensional van der Waals materials provide a new platform discovery novel physics effects. Here we demonstrate Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction Néel-type skyrmions are induced at WTe 2 /Fe 3 GeTe interface. Transport...

Establishing the appropriate theoretical framework for unconventional superconductivity in iron-based materials requires correct understanding of both electron correlation strength and role Fermi surfaces. This fundamental issue becomes especially relevant with discovery iron chalcogenide superconductors. Here, we use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to measure three representative chalcogenides, FeTe0.56Se0.44, monolayer FeSe grown on SrTiO3 K0.76Fe1.72Se2. We show that these...

The electronic structure of Sr2RuO4 is investigated by high angular resolution ARPES at several incident photon energies. We address the controversial issues Fermi surface (FS) topology and van Hove singularity M point, showing that a state replica primary FS due to sqrt[2]xsqrt[2] reconstruction are responsible for previous conflicting interpretations. thus determined consistent with de Haas-van Alphen results, it provides additional information on detailed shape alpha, beta, gamma sheets.
We have investigated the effect of Fe nonstoichiometry on properties Fe1+y(Te, Se) superconductor system by means resistivity, Hall coefficient, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat measurements. find that excess at interstitial sites (Te, layers not only suppresses superconductivity, but also results in a weakly localized electronic state. argue these effects originate from coupling between adjacent square planar sheets, which favors short-range order.
