BaFe$_2$S$_3$ is a quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnetic insulator that becomes superconducting under hydrostatic pressure. The magnetic ordering temperature, $T_N$, as well as the presence of superconductivity have been found to be sample dependent. It has been argued that the Fe content may play a decisive role, with the use of 5%mol excess Fe being reportedly required during the synthesis to optimize the magnetic ordering temperature and the superconducting properties. However, it is yet unclear whether an Fe off-stoichiometry is actually present in the samples, and how it affects the structural, magnetic and transport properties. Here, we present a systematic study of compositional, structural and physical properties of BaFe$_{2+delta}$S$_3$ as a function of the nominal Fe excess $delta$. As $delta$ increases, we observe the presence of an increasing fraction of secondary phases but no systematic change in the composition or crystal structure of the main phase. Magnetic susceptibility curves are influenced by the presence of magnetic secondary phases. The previously reported maximum of $T_N$ at $delta$=0.1 was not confirmed. Samples with nominal $delta$=0 present the lowest $T_N$ and the resistivity anomaly at the highest temperature $T^*$ while, for $delta geq 0.05$, both quantities and the transport gap are seemingly $delta$-independent. Finally, we show that crystals free of ferromagnetic spurious phases can be obtained by remelting samples with nominal $delta$=0.05 in a Bridgman process.

The effect of selenium substitution by sulfur or tellurium in the Tl1-yFe2-zSe2 antiferromagnet was studied by x-ray and electron diffraction, magnetization and transport measurements. Tl0.8Fe1.5(Se1-xXx)2 (nominal composition) solid solutions were s
ynthesized in the full x range (0<x<1) for X=S and up to x=0.5 for X=Te, using the sealed tube technique. No superconductivity was found down to 4.2K in the case of sulfur despite the fact that the optimal crystallographic parameters, determined by Rietveld refinements, are reached in the series (i.e. the Fe-(Se,S) interplane height and (Se,S)-Fe-(Se,S) angle for which the critical superconducting transition T$_{c}$ is usually maximal in pnictides). Quasi full Tl site (y=0.05) compared to significant alkaline deficiency (y=0.2-0.3) in analogous A1-yFe2-zSe2 (A = K, Rb, Cs), and the resulting differences in iron valency, density of states and doping, are suggested to explain this absence of superconductivity. Compounds substituted with tellurium, at least up to x=0.25, show superconducting transitions but probably due to tetragonal Fe(Se,Te) impurity phase. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed the existence of ordered iron vacancies network in the samples from the Tl$_{0.8}$Fe$_{1.5}$(Se$_{1-x}$S$_{x}$)$_{2}$ series in the form of the tetragonal $sqrt{5}$ a $times sqrt{5}$ a $times$ c superstructure (textit{I4/m}) (mixed with the orthorhombic $sqrt{2}$ a $times 2sqrt{2}$ a $times$ c form (textit{Ibam}) if the iron vacancies level is increased). The N{e}el temperature (T$_{N}$) indicating the onset of antiferromagnetism order in the $sqrt{5}$ a $times sqrt{5}$ a $times$ c supercell decreases from 450K in the selenide (x=0) to 330K in the sulfide (x=1). We finally demonstrate a direct linear relationship between $T_{Nacute{e}el}$ and the Fe-(Se,S) bond length (or Fe-(Se,S) height).
We report on synthesis, structural characterization, resistivity, magnetic and thermal expansion measurements on the as yet unexplored $delta$-phase of FeSe$_{1-x}$, here synthesized under ambient- (AP) and high-pressure (HP) conditions. We show that
in contrast to $beta$-FeSe$_{1-x}$, monophasic superconducting $delta$-FeSe$_{1-x}$ can be obtained in off-stoichiometric samples with excess Fe atoms preferentially residing in the van der Waals gap between the FeSe layers. The AP $delta$-FeSe$_{1-x}$ sample studied here ($T_c$ $simeq$ 8.5,K) possesses an unprecedented residual resistivity ratio RRR $simeq$ 16. Thermal expansion data reveal a small feature around $sim$90,K, which resembles the anomaly observed at the structural and magnetic transitions for other Fe-based superconductors, suggesting that some kind of magnetic state is formed also in FeSe. %indicative of a fluctuating magnetic ordering. For HP samples (RRR $simeq$ 3), the disorder within the FeSe layers is enhanced through the introduction of vacancies, the saturated magnetic moment of Fe is reduced and only spurious superconductivity is observed.
Since the discovery of pressure-induced superconductivity in the two-leg ladder system BaFe$_2X_3$ ($X$=S, Se), with the 3$d$ iron electronic density $n = 6$, the quasi-one-dimensional iron-based ladders have attracted considerable attention. Here, w
e use Density Functional Theory (DFT) to predict that the novel $n = 6$ iron ladder BaFe$_2$Te$_3$ could be stable with a similar crystal structure as BaFe$_2$Se$_3$. Our results also indicate that BaFe$_2$Te$_3$ will display the complex 2$times$2 Block-type magnetic order. Due to the magnetic striction effects of this Block order, BaFe$_2$Te$_3$ should be a magnetic noncollinear ferrielectric system with a net polarization $0.31$ $mu$C/cm$^2$. Compared with the S- or Se-based iron ladders, the electrons of the Te-based ladders are more localized, implying that the degree of electronic correlation is enhanced for the Te case which may induce additional interesting properties. The physical and structural similarity with BaFe$_2$Se$_3$ also suggests that BaFe$_2$Te$_3$ could become superconducting under high pressure.
Inelastic neutron scattering measurements have been performed to investigate the spin waves of the quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnetic ladder compound BaFe$_2$S$_3$, where a superconducting transition was observed under pressure [H. Takahashi {it
et al.}, Nat. Mater. 14, 1008-1012 (2015); T. Yamauchi {it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 246402 (2015)]. By fitting the spherically averaged experimental data collected on a powder sample to a Heisenberg Hamiltonian, we find that the one-dimensional antiferromagnetic ladder exhibits a strong nearest neighbor ferromagnetic exchange interaction ($SJ_R=-71pm4$ meV) along the rung direction, an antiferromagnetic $SJ_L=49pm3$ meV along the leg direction and a ferromagnetic $SJ_2=-15pm2$ meV along the diagonal direction. Our data demonstrate that the antiferromagnetic spin excitations are a common characteristic for the iron-based superconductors, while specific relative values for the exchange interactions do not appear to be unique for the parent states of the superconducting materials.
We report a comprehensive study of the spin ladder compound BaFe$_2$S$_{2.5}$Se$_{0.5}$ using neutron diffraction, inelastic neutron scattering, high pressure synchrotron diffraction, and high pressure transport techniques. We find that BaFe$_2$S$_{2
.5}$Se$_{0.5}$ possesses the same $Cmcm$ structure and stripe antiferromagnetic order as does BaFe$_2$S$_3$, but with a reduced N{{e}}el temperature of $T_N=98$ K compared to 120 K for the undoped system, and a slightly increased ordered moment of 1.40$mu_B$ per iron. The low-energy spin excitations in BaFe$_2$S$_{2.5}$Se$_{0.5}$ are likewise similar to those observed in BaFe$_2$S$_{3}$. However, unlike the reports of superconductivity in BaFe$_2$S$_3$ below $T_c sim 14$~K under pressures of 10~GPa or more, we observe no superconductivity in BaFe$_2$S$_{2.5}$Se$_{0.5}$ at any pressure up to 19.7~GPa. In contrast, the resistivity exhibits an upturn at low temperature under pressure. Furthermore, we show that additional high-quality samples of BaFe$_2$S$_3$ synthesized for this study likewise fail to become superconducting under pressure, instead displaying a similar upturn in resistivity at low temperature. These results demonstrate that microscopic, sample-specific details play an important role in determining the ultimate electronic ground state in this spin ladder system. We suggest that the upturn in resistivity at low temperature in both BaFe$_2$S$_3$ and BaFe$_2$S$_{2.5}$Se$_{0.5}$ may result from Anderson localization induced by S vacancies and random Se substitutions, enhanced by the quasi-one-dimensional ladder structure.
