We report on specific heat ($C_p$), transport, Hall probe and penetration depth measurements performed on Fe(Se$_{0.5}$Te$_{0.5}$) single crystals ($T_c sim 14$ K). The thermodynamic upper critical field $H_{c2}$ lines has been deduced from $C_p$ measurements up to 28 T for both $H|c$ and $H|ab$, and compared to the lines deduced from transport measurements (up to 55 T in pulsed magnetic fields). We show that this {it thermodynamic} $H_{c2}$ line presents a very strong downward curvature for $T rightarrow T_c$ which is not visible in transport measurements. This temperature dependence associated to an upward curvature of the field dependence of the Sommerfeld coefficient confirm that $H_{c2}$ is limited by paramagnetic effects. Surprisingly this paramagnetic limit is visible here up to $T/T_c sim 0.99$ (for $H|ab$) which is the consequence of a very small value of the coherence length $xi_c(0) sim 4 AA$ (and $xi_{ab}(0) sim 15 AA$), confirming the strong renormalisation of the effective mass (as compared to DMFT calculations) previously observed in ARPES measurements [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 097002 (2010)]. $H_{c1}$ measurements lead to $lambda_{ab}(0) = 430 pm 50$ nm and $lambda_c(0) = 1600 pm 200$ nm and the corresponding anisotropy is approximatively temperature independent ($sim 4$), being close to the anisotropy of $H_{c2}$ for $Trightarrow T_c$. The temperature dependence of both $lambda$ ($propto T^2$) and the electronic contribution to the specific heat confirm the non conventional coupling mechanism in this system.

Superconductivity (SC) with the suppression of long-range antiferromagnetic (AFM) order is observed in the parent compounds of both iron-based and cuprate superconductors. The AFM wave vectors are bicollinear ($pi$, 0) in the parent compound FeTe dif
ferent from the collinear AFM order ($pi$, $pi$) in most iron pnictides. Study of the phase diagram of Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_x$ is the most direct way to investigate the competition between bicollinear AFM and SC. However, presence of interstitial Fe affects both magnetism and SC of Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_x$, which hinders the establishment of the real phase diagram. Here, we report the comparison of doping-temperature ($x$-$T$) phase diagrams for Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_x$ (0 $leq$ $x$ $leq$ 0.43) single crystals before and after removing interstitial Fe. Without interstitial Fe, the AFM state survives only for $x$ $<$ 0.05, and bulk SC emerges from $x$ = 0.05, and does not coexist with the AFM state. The previously reported spin glass state, and the coexistence of AFM and SC may be originated from the effect of the interstitial Fe. The phase diagram of Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_x$ is found to be similar to the case of the 1111 system such as LaFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_x$, and is different from that of the 122 system.
The polarized Raman scattering spectra of nonsuperconducting $alpha$-FeTe and of the newly discovered, As-free superconductor Fe$_{1.03}$Se$_{0.3}$Te$_{0.7}$ are measured at room temperature on single crystals. The phonon modes are assigned by combin
ing symmetry analysis with first-principles calculations. In the parent compound $alpha$-FeTe, the A$_{1g}$ mode of the Te atom and the B$_{1g}$ mode of the Fe atom are observed clearly, while in superconducting Fe$_{1.03}$Se$_{0.3}$Te$_{0.7}$, only a softened Fe B$_{1g}$ mode can be seen. No electron-phonon coupling feature can be distinguished in the spectra of the two samples. By contrast, the spectra of the superconducting system show a slight enhancement below 300$cm^{-1}$, which may be of electronic origin.
We use neutron scattering, to study magnetic excitations in crystals near the ideal superconducting composition of FeTe$_{0.5}$Se$_{0.5}$. Two types of excitations are found, a resonance at (0.5, 0.5, 0) and incommensurate fluctuations on either side
of this position. We show that the two sets of magnetic excitations behave differently with doping, with the resonance being fixed in position while the incommensurate excitations move as the doping is changed. These unusual results show that a common behavior of the low energy magnetic excitations is not necessary for pairing in these materials.
The electronic structure of the vacancy-ordered K$_{0.5}$Fe$_{1.75}$Se$_2$ iron-selenide compound (278 phase) is studied using the first-principles density functional method. The ground state of the 278 phase is stripe-like antiferromagnetic, and its
bare electron susceptibility shows a large peak around $(pi, pi)$ in the folded Brillouin zone. Near Fermi level, the density of states are dominated by the Fe-3d orbitals, and both electron-like and hole-like Fermi surfaces appear in the Brillouin zone. Unfolded band structure shows limited similarities to a hole doped 122 phase. With 0.1e electron doping, the susceptibility peak is quickly suppressed and broadened; while the two-dimensionality of the electron-like Fermi surfaces are greatly enhanced, resulting in a better nesting behavior. Our study should be relevant to the recently reported superconducting phase K$_{0.5+x}$Fe$_{1.75+y}$Se$_2$ with both $x$ and $y$ very tiny.
Among the Fe-based superconductors, Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_{x}$ is unique in that its crystal structure is the simplest and the electron correlation level is the strongest, and thus it is important to investigate the doping($x$)-temperature ($T$) ph
ase diagram of this system. However, inevitably incorporated excess Fe currently prevents the establishment of the true phase diagram. We overcome the aforementioned significant problem via developing a new annealing method termed as Te-annealing wherein single crystals are annealed under Te vapor. Specifically, we conducted various magnetotransport measurements on Te-annealed superconducting Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_{x}$. We observed that crossover from the incoherent to the coherent electronic state and opening of the pseudogap occurs at high temperatures ($approx$ 150 K for $x$ = 0.2). This is accompanied by a more substantial pseudogap and the emergence of a phase with a multi-band nature at lower temperatures (below $approx$ 50 K for $x$ = 0.2) before superconductivity sets in. Based on the results, the third type electronic phase diagram in Fe-based high-$T_c$ superconductors is revealed.
