Temperature (12K $le$ T $le$ 300K) dependent extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) studies at the Fe K edge in FeSe$_{1-x}$Te$_x$ (x = 0, 0.5 and 1.0) compounds have been carried out to understand the reasons for increase in T$_C$ upon Te doping in FeSe. While local distortions are present near superconducting onset in FeSe and FeSe$_{0.5}$Te$_{0.5}$, they seem to be absent in non superconducting FeTe. Of crucial importance is the variation of anion height. In FeSe$_{0.5}$Te$_{0.5}$, near superconducting onset, the two heights, $h_{Fe-Se}$ and $h_{Fe-Te}$ show a nearly opposite behaviour. These changes indicate a possible correlation between Fe-chalcogen hybridization and the superconducting transition temperature in these Fe-chalcogenides.

Local structure of FeSe(1-x)Te(x) has been studied by extended x-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) measurements as a function of temperature. Combination of Se and Fe K edge EXAFS has permitted to quantify the local interatomic distances and thei
r mean-square relative displacements. The Fe-Se and Fe-Te bond lengths in the ternary system are found to be very different from the average crystallographic Fe-Se/Te distance, and almost identical to the Fe-Se and Fe-Te distances for the binary FeSe and FeTe systems, indicating distinct site occupation by the Se and Te atoms. The results provide a clear evidence of local inhomogeneities and coexisting electronic components in the FeSe1-xTex, characterized by different local structural configurations, with direct implication on the fundamental electronic structure of these superconductors.
We study the angular dependence of the dissipation in the superconducting state of FeSe and Fe(Se$_text{1-x}$Te$_text{x}$) through electrical transport measurements, using crystalline intergrown materials. We reveal the key role of the inclusions of
the non superconducting magnetic phase Fe$_text{1-y}$(Se$_text{1-x}$Te$_text{x}$), growing into the Fe(Se$_text{1-x}$Te$_text{x}$) pure $beta$-phase, in the development of a correlated defect structure. The matching of both atomic structures defines the growth habit of the crystalline material as well as the correlated planar defects orientation.
We use cold neutron spectroscopy to study the low-energy spin excitations of superconducting (SC) FeSe$_{0.4}$Te$_{0.6}$ and essentially non-superconducting (NSC) FeSe$_{0.45}$Te$_{0.55}$. In contrast to BaFe$_{2-x}$(Co,Ni)$_{x}$As$_2$, where the low
-energy spin excitations are commensurate both in the SC and normal state, the normal-state spin excitations in SC FeSe$_{0.4}$Te$_{0.6}$ are incommensurate and show an hourglass dispersion near the resonance energy. Since similar hourglass dispersion is also found in the NSC FeSe$_{0.45}$Te$_{0.55}$, we argue that the observed incommensurate spin excitations in FeSe$_{1-x}$Te$_{x}$ are not directly associated with superconductivity. Instead, the results can be understood within a picture of Fermi surface nesting assuming extremely low Fermi velocities and spin-orbital coupling.
We systematically studied in-plane optical conductivity of FeSe$_{1-x}$Te$_{x}$ thin films fabricated on CaF$_{2}$ substrates for $x$ = 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4. This system shows a large enhancement of superconducting transition temperature $T_{mathrm{c
}}$ at $x sim$ 0.2 and a gentle decrease in $T_{mathrm{c}}$ with further increasing $x$. The low-energy optical conductivity spectrum is described by the sum of narrow and broad Drude components, associated with coherent and incoherent charge dynamics, respectively. With increasing Te content, the spectral weight of the narrow Drude component decreases, while the total weight of the two Drude components increases. As a consequence, the fraction of the narrow Drude weight significantly decreases, indicating that Te substitution leads to stronger electronic correlations. Below the nematic transition temperature, the narrow Drude weight decreases with decreasing temperature. This indicates the reduction of the coherent carrier density, resulting from the Fermi-surface modification induced by the development of the orbital order. The reduction of the narrow Drude weight with temperature stopped at $x sim$ 0.2, corresponding to the disappearance of the nematic transition. Our result suggests that the increase in the coherent carrier density induced by the suppression of the nematic transition gives rise to the enhancement of $T_{mathrm{c}}$. The decrease in $T_{mathrm{c}}$ with further Te substitution likely arises from too strong electronic correlations, which are not favorable for superconductivity.
We report the phase diagram for the superconducting system (${^{7}}$Li${_{1-x}}$Fe${_{x}}$OD)FeSe and contrast it with that of (Li${_{1-x}}$Fe${_{x}}$OH)FeSe both in single crystal and powder forms. Samples were prepared via hydrothermal methods and
characterized with laboratory and synchrotron X-ray diffraction, high-resolution neutron powder diffraction (NPD), and high intensity NPD. We find a correlation between the tetragonality of the unit cell parameters and the critical temperature, $T_{c}$, which is indicative of the effects of charge doping on the lattice and formation of iron vacancies in the FeSe layer. We observe no appreciable isotope effect on the maximum $T_{c}$ in substituting H by by D. The NPD measurements definitively rule out an antiferromagnetic ordering in the non-superconducting (Li${_{1-x}}$Fe${_{x}}$OD)FeSe samples below 120 K, which has been reported in non-superconducting (Li${_{1-x}}$Fe${_{x}}$OH)FeSe.$^{1}$ A likely explanation for the observed antiferromagnetic transition in (Li${_{1-x}}$Fe${_{x}}$OH)FeSe samples is the formation of impurities during their preparation such as Fe${_{3}}$O${_{4}}$ and LixFeO2, which express a charge ordering transition known as the Verwey transition near 120 K. The concentration of these oxide impurities is found to be dependent on the concentration of the lithium hydroxide reagent and the use of H${_{2}}$O vs. D${_{2}}$O as the solvent during synthesis. We also describe the reaction conditions that lead to some of our superconducting samples to exhibit ferromagnetism below $T_{c}$.
