Magnetic spin fluctuations is one candidate to produce the bosonic modes that mediate the superconductivity in the ferrous superconductors. Up until now, all of the LaOFeAs and BaFe2As2 structure types have simple commensurate magnetic ground states, as result of nesting Fermi surfaces. This type of spin-density-wave (SDW) magnetic order is known to be vulnerable to shifts in the Fermi surface when electronic densities are altered at the superconducting compositions. Superconductivity has more recently been discovered in alpha-Fe(Te,Se), whose electronically active antifluorite planes are isostructural to the FeAs layers found in the previous ferrous superconductors and share with them the same quasi-two-dimensional electronic structure. Here we report neutron scattering studies that reveal a unique complex incommensurate antiferromagnetic order in the parent compound alpha-FeTe. When the long-range magnetic order is suppressed by the isovalent substitution of Te with Se, short-range correlations survive in the superconducting phase.

We use bulk magnetic susceptibility, electronic specific heat, and neutron scattering to study structural and magnetic phase transitions in Fe$_{1+y}$Se% $_x$Te$_{1-x}$. Fe$_{1.068}$Te exhibits a first order phase transition near 67 K with a tetragon
al to monoclinic structural transition and simultaneously develops a collinear antiferromagnetic (AF) order responsible for the entropy change across the transition. Systematic studies of FeSe$%_{1-x}$Te$_x$ system reveal that the AF structure and lattice distortion in these materials are different from those of FeAs-based pnictides. These results call into question the conclusions of present density functional calculations, where FeSe$_{1-x}$Te$_x$ and FeAs-based pnictides are expected to have similar Fermi surfaces and therefore the same spin-density-wave AF order.
We have investigated the effect of Fe nonstoichiometry on properties of the Fe1+y(Te, Se) superconductor system by means of resistivity, Hall coefficient, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat measurements. We find that the excess Fe at intersti
tial sites of the (Te, Se) layers not only suppresses superconductivity, but also results in a weakly localized electronic state. We argue that these effects originate from the magnetic coupling between the excess Fe and the adjacent Fe square planar sheets, which favors a short-range magnetic order.
The ground state of the parent compounds of many high temperature superconductors is an antiferromagnetically (AFM) ordered phase, where superconductivity emerges when the AFM phase transition is suppressed by doping or application of pressure. This
behaviour implies a close relation between the two orders. Understanding the interplay between them promises a better understanding of how the superconducting condensate forms from the AFM ordered background. Here we explore this relation in real space at the atomic scale using low temperature spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy (SP-STM) and spectroscopy. We investigate the transition from antiferromagnetically ordered $mathrm{Fe}_{1+y}mathrm{Te}$ via the spin glass phase in $mathrm{Fe}_{1+y}mathrm{Se}_{0.1}mathrm{Te}_{0.9}$ to superconducting $mathrm{Fe}_{1+y}mathrm{Se}_{0.15}mathrm{Te}_{0.85}$. In $mathrm{Fe}_{1+y}mathrm{Se}_{0.1}mathrm{Te}_{0.9}$ we observe an atomic-scale coexistence of superconductivity and short-ranged bicollinear antiferromagnetic order.
A robust zero-energy bound state (ZBS) in a superconductor, such as a Majorana or Andreev bound state, is often a consequence of non-trivial topological or symmetry related properties, and can provide indispensable information about the superconducti
ng state. Here we use scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy to demonstrate, on the atomic scale, that an isotropic ZBS emerges at the randomly distributed interstitial excess Fe sites in the superconducting Fe(Te,Se). This ZBS is localized with a short decay length of ~ 10 {AA}, and surprisingly robust against a magnetic field up to 8 Tesla, as well as perturbations by neighboring impurities. We find no natural explanation for the observation of such a robust zero-energy bound state, indicating a novel mechanism of impurities or an exotic pairing symmetry of the iron-based superconductivity.
Recent experiment reported the evidence of dispersing one-dimensional Majorana mode trapped by the crystalline domain walls in FeSe0.45Te0.55. Here, we perform the first-principles calculationsto show that iron atoms in the domain wall spontaneously
form the ferromagnetic order in line withorientation of the wall. The ferromagnetism can impose a $pi$ phase difference between the domain-wall-separated surface superconducting regimes under the appropriate thickness and magnetization of the wall. Accordingly, the topological surface superconducting state of FeSe$_{0.45}$Te$_{0.55}$ can give rise to one-dimensional Majorana modes bounded by the wall. More importantly, we further propose a topological phase battery junction in the form of FeSe$_{0.45}$Te$_{0.55}$/ferromagnet/FeSe$_{0.45}$Te$_{0.55}$, which can be adopted to create and fuse the Majorana zero modes through controlling the thickness or magnetization of the interior ferromagnetic barrier. The braiding and readout of Majorana zero modes can easily be realized by the designed device. Such topological phase battery junction has the potential application in the superconducting topological quantum computation.
