We performed resistance measurements on Fe$_{1+delta-x}$Cu$_{x}$Te with $x_{EDX}leq 0.06$ in the presence of in-plane applied magnetic fields, revealing a resistance anisotropy that can be induced at a temperature far below the structural and magnetic zero-field transition temperatures. The observed resistance anisotropy strongly depends on the field orientation with respect to the crystallographic axes, as well as on the field-cooling history. Our results imply a correlation between the observed features and the low-temperature magnetic order. Hysteresis in the angle-dependence indicates a strong pinning of the magnetic order within a temperature range that varies with the Cu content. The resistance anisotropy vanishes at different temperatures depending on whether an external magnetic field or a remnant field is present: the closing temperature is higher in the presence of an external field. For $x_{EDX} = 0.06$ the resistance anisotropy closes above the structural transition, at the same temperature at which the zero-field short-range magnetic order disappears and the sample becomes paramagnetic. Thus we suggest that under an external magnetic field the resistance anisotropy mirrors the magnetic order parameter. We discuss similarities to nematic order observed in other iron pnictide materials.

We report neutron scattering studies on static magnetic orders and spin excitations in the Fe-based chalcogenide system Fe$_{1+delta}$Se$_{x}$Te$_{1-x}$ with different Fe and Se compositions. Short-range static magnetic order with the bicollinear spin configuration is found in all non-superconducting samples, with strong low-energy magnetic excitations near the $(0.5,0)$ in-plane wave-vector (using the two-Fe unit cell) for Se doping up to 45%. When the static order disappears and bulk superconductivity emerges, the spectral weight of the magnetic excitations shifts to the region of reciprocal space near the in-plane wave-vector $(0.5,0.5)$, corresponding to the collinear spin configuration. Our results suggest that spin fluctuations associated with the collinear magnetic structure appear to be universal in all Fe-based superconductors, and there is a strong correlation between superconductivity and the character of the magnetic order/fluctuations in
Resistance of Fe$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$(x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 and 0.9) has been measured using four probe method from 5K to 300K with and without a longitudinal magnetic field of 8T. The zero field resistivity of x=0.1 and 0.9 alloys, predominant contribution to resistivity above near room temperature is due to electron-phonon scattering, whereas for x=05 and 0.7 alloys electron-magnon scattering is dominant. Alloys with x=0.1 and 0.9 exhibit positive magnetoresistance(MR) from 5K to 300K. For x=0.5 and 0.7 alloys, magnetoresistance changes sign from positive to negative with increase in temperature. The temperature at which sign changes increase with Ni concentration in the alloy. The field dependent magnetoresistance is positive for x=0.1, 0.7 and 0.9 alloys whereas it is negative for x=0.5 alloy. MR follows linear behaviour with field for x=0.1 alloy. MR of all other alloys follow a second order polynomial in field.
Fe$_{1+x}$Te is a two dimensional van der Waals antiferromagnet that becomes superconducting on anion substitution on the Te site. The parent phase of Fe$_{1+x}$Te is sensitive to the amount of interstitial iron situated between the iron-tellurium layers displaying collinear magnetic order coexisting with low temperature metallic resistivity for small concentrations of interstitial iron $x$ and helical magnetic order for large values of $x$. While this phase diagram has been established through scattering [see for example E. E. Rodriguez $textit{et al.}$ Phys. Rev. B ${bf{84}}$, 064403 (2011) and S. Rossler $textit{et al.}$ Phys. Rev. B ${bf{84}}$, 174506 (2011)], recent scanning tunnelling microscopy measurements [C. Trainer $textit{et al.}$ Sci. Adv. ${bf{5}}$, eaav3478 (2019)] have observed a different magnetic structure for small interstitial iron concentrations $x$ with a significant canting of the magnetic moments along the crystallographic $c$ axis of $theta$=28 $pm$ 3$^{circ}$. In this paper, we revisit the magnetic structure of Fe$_{1.09}$Te using spherical neutron polarimetry and scanning tunnelling microscopy to search for this canting in the bulk phase and compare surface and bulk magnetism. The results show that the bulk magnetic structure of Fe$_{1.09}$Te is consistent with collinear in-plane order ($theta=0$ with an error of $sim$ 5$^{circ}$). Comparison with scanning tunnelling microscopy on a series of Fe$_{1+x}$Te samples reveals that the surface exhibits a magnetic surface reconstruction with a canting angle of the spins of $theta=29.8^{circ}$. We suggest that this is a consequence of structural relaxation of the surface layer resulting in an out-of-plane magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The magnetism in Fe$_{1+x}$Te displays different properties at the surface when the symmetry constraints of the bulk are removed.
Theories of the strange metal, the parent state of many high temperature superconductors, invariably involve an important role for correlations in the spin and charge degrees of freedom. The most distinctive signature of this state in the charge transport sector is a resistance that varies linearly in temperature, but this phenomenon does not clearly point to one mechanism as temperature is a scalar quantity that influences every possible mechanism for momentum relaxation. In a previous work we identified an unusual scaling relationship between magnetic field and temperature in the in-plane resistivity of the unconventional superconductor BaFe$_2$(As$_{1-x}$P$_{x}$)$_2$, providing an opportunity to use the vector nature of the magnetic field to acquire additional clues about the mechanisms responsible for scattering in the strange metal state. Here we extend this work by investigating other components of the conductivity tensor under different orientations of the magnetic field. We find that the scaling phenomenon involves only the out-of-plane component of the magnetic field and is, strikingly, independent of the direction of the applied current. This suggests that the origin of the strange magnetotransport is in the action of the magnetic field on the correlated behavior of spin and charge degrees of freedom, rather than on the simple cyclotron motion of individual quasiparticles.
We have synthesized and characterized the four different stable phases of Na ordered Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$, for $0.65<xlesssim 0.75$. Above 100K they display similar Curie-Weiss spin susceptibilities as well as ferromagnetic $q=0$ spin fluctuations in the CoO$_{2}$ planes revealed respectively by $^{23}$Na NMR shift and spin lattice $T_{1}$ data. The Co disproportionate already above 300K into Co$^{3+}$ and $approx $Co$^{3.5+}$ in all phases, which allows us to understand that magnetism is favoured. Below 100K the paramagnetic properties become quite distinct, and a 3D magnetic order sets in only for $x=0.75$, so that charge order has a subtle incidence on the low $T$ energy scales and transverse magnetic couplings.
