Polarized Neutron Spectroscopy of Dynamical Magnetism in Parent and Superconducting Fe(Te,Se)

ORAL

Abstract

Inelastic neutron scattering presented perhaps the first experimental indication of the orbital-selective electron localization in the Fe chalcogenides [1]. The follow-up study [2] established the concomitant ferro-orbital order, leading to the "bicollinear" antiferromagnetism, a metallic state, and a loss of magnetic susceptibility[1,2]. Here, we present polarized inelastic neutron surveys of the temperature-dependent magnetic dynamics in both Fe1+yTe, and the optimally doped superconductor, FeTe0.55Se0.45. We observe that the local dynamical correlations in the superconducting sample in the energy range of the spin resonance, at high temperature become similar to those found in the under-doped samples [1], and which are also observed in the optimally doped samples at higher energy. Our results reveal unusual, energy- and temperature-dependent orbital composition of dynamical magnetism in these materials.
