Elucidating the nature of the magnetism of a high-temperature superconductor is crucial for establishing its pairing mechanism. The parent compounds of the cuprate and iron-pnictide superconductors exhibit Neel and stripe magnetic order, respectively. However, FeSe, the structurally simplest iron-based superconductor, shows nematic order (Ts = 90 K), but not magnetic order in the parent phase, and its magnetic ground state is intensely debated. Here, we report inelastic neutron-scattering experiments that reveal both stripe and Neel spin fluctuations over a wide energy range at 110 K. On entering the nematic phase, a substantial amount of spectral weight is transferred from the Neel to the stripe spin fluctuations. Moreover, the total fluctuating magnetic moment of FeSe is ~ 60% larger than that in the iron pnictide BaFe2As2. Our results suggest that FeSe is a novel S = 1 nematic quantum-disordered paramagnet interpolating between the Neel and stripe magnetic instabilities.

We present $beta$-FeSe magnetotransport data, and describe them theoretically. Using a simplified microscopic model with two correlated effective orbitals, we determined the normal state electrical conductivity and Hall coefficient, using Kubo formal
ism. With model parameters relevant for Fe-chalcogenides, we describe the observed effect of the structural transition on the ab-plane electrical resistivity, as well as on the magnetoresistance. Temperature-dependent Hall coefficient data were measured at 16 Tesla, and their theoretical description improves upon inclusion of moderate electron correlations. We confirm the effect of the structural transition on the electronic structure, finding deformation-induced band splittings comparable to those reported in angle-resolved photoemission.
The origin of the electronic nematicity in FeSe, which occurs below a tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural transition temperature $T_s$ ~ 90 K, well above the superconducting transition temperature $T_c = 9$ K, is one of the most important unresolve
d puzzles in the study of iron-based superconductors. In both spin- and orbital-nematic models, the intrinsic magnetic excitations at $mathbf{Q}_1=(1, 0)$ and $mathbf{Q}_2=(0, 1)$ of twin-free FeSe are expected to behave differently below $T_s$. Although anisotropic spin fluctuations below 10 meV between $mathbf{Q}_1$ and $mathbf{Q}_2$ have been unambiguously observed by inelastic neutron scattering around $T_c (<<T_s)$, it remains unclear whether such an anisotropy also persists at higher energies and associates with the nematic transition $T_s$. Here we use resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) to probe the high-energy magnetic excitations of uniaxial-strain detwinned FeSe. A prominent anisotropy between the magnetic excitations along the $H$ and $K$ directions is found to persist to $sim200$ meV, which is even more pronounced than the anisotropy of spin waves in BaFe$_2$As$_2$. This anisotropy decreases gradually with increasing temperature and finally vanishes at a temperature around the nematic transition temperature $T_s$. Our results reveal an unprecedented strong spin-excitation anisotropy with a large energy scale well above the $d_{xz}/d_{yz}$ orbital splitting, suggesting that the nematic phase transition is primarily spin-driven. Moreover, the measured high-energy spin excitations are dispersive and underdamped, which can be understood from a local-moment perspective. Our findings provide the much-needed understanding of the mechanism for the nematicity of FeSe and point to a unified description of the correlation physics across seemingly distinct classes of Fe-based superconductors.
FeSe is arguably the simplest, yet the most enigmatic, iron-based superconductor. Its nematic but non-magnetic ground state is unprecedented in this class of materials and stands out as a current puzzle. Here, our NMR measurements in the nematic stat
e of mechanically detwinned FeSe reveal that both the Knight shift and the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T_1 possess an in-plane anisotropy opposite to that of the iron pnictides LaFeAsO and BaFe2As2. Using a microscopic electron model that includes spin-orbit coupling, our calculations show that an opposite quasiparticle weight ratio between the d_xz and d_yz orbitals leads to an opposite anisotropy of the orbital magnetic susceptibility, which explains our Knight shift results. We attribute this property to a different nature of nematic order in the two compounds, predominantly bond-type in FeSe and onsite ferro-orbital in pnictides. The T_1 anisotropy is found to be inconsistent with existing neutron scattering data in FeSe, showing that the spin fluctuation spectrum reveals surprises at low energy, possibly from fluctuations that do not break C_4 symmetry. Therefore, our results reveal that important information is hidden in these anisotropies and they place stringent constraints on the low-energy spin correlations as well as on the nature of nematicity in FeSe.
We offer an explanation for the recently observed pressure-induced magnetic state in the iron-chalcogenide FeSe based on textit{ab initio} estimates for the pressure evolution of the most important Coulomb interaction parameters. We find that an incr
ease of pressure leads to an overall decrease mostly in the nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsion, which in turn leads to a reduction of the nematic order and the generation of magnetic stripe order. We treat the concomitant effects of band renormalization and the induced interplay of nematic and magnetic order in a self-consistent way and determine the generic topology of the temperature-pressure phase diagram, and find qualitative agreement with the experimentally determined phase diagram.
Magnetism induced by external pressure ($p$) was studied in a FeSe crystal sample by means of muon-spin rotation. The magnetic transition changes from second-order to first-order for pressures exceeding the critical value $p_{{rm c}}simeq2.4-2.5$ GPa
. The magnetic ordering temperature ($T_{{rm N}}$) and the value of the magnetic moment per Fe site ($m_{{rm Fe}}$) increase continuously with increasing pressure, reaching $T_{{rm N}}simeq50$~K and $m_{{rm Fe}}simeq0.25$ $mu_{{rm B}}$ at $psimeq2.6$ GPa, respectively. No pronounced features at both $T_{{rm N}}(p)$ and $m_{{rm Fe}}(p)$ are detected at $psimeq p_{{rm c}}$, thus suggesting that the stripe-type magnetic order in FeSe remains unchanged above and below the critical pressure $p_{{rm c}}$. A phenomenological model for the $(p,T)$ phase diagram of FeSe reveals that these observations are consistent with a scenario where the nematic transitions of FeSe at low and high pressures are driven by different mechanisms.
