Inelastic neutron scattering studies on the incommensurate-to-commensurate transformation of low energy magnetic excitations in $Fe_{1+\delta-y}(Ni/Cu)_{y}Te_{1-x}Se_{x}$
ORAL
Abstract
We have performed a series of neutron scattering and magnetization measurements on $Fe_{1+\delta-y}(Ni/Cu)_{y}Te_{1-x}Se_{x}$ system to study the interplay between magnetism and superconductivity. Both non-superconducting and superconducting samples with T$_{c}$ 8$\sim$15K are studied. The low energy magnetic excitations of all samples at T$>$$>$T$_{c}$ consist of two incommensurate vertical columns. They change to a distinctly different U-shaped dispersion at T$>$T$_{c}$ for the superconducting samples and the transition temperature depend on the composition.[1] On the other hand, for all non-superconducting samples, there is no clear temperature dependence, and the low energy magnetic excitations remain two columns for temperatures down to 1.5 K.
