Magnetothermoelectric effects in Fe{1+d}Te{1-x}Se{x}

Abstract

We report resistivity as well as the Hall, Seebeck and Nernst coefficients data for Fe{1+d}Te{1-x}Se{x} single crystals with x = 0, 0.38, and 0.40. In the parent compound Fe{1.04}Te we observe at Tn = 61 K a sudden change of all quantities studied, which can be ascribed to the Fermi surface reconstruction due to onset of the antiferromagnetic order. Two very closely doped samples: Fe{1.01}Te{0.62}Se{0.38} (Se38) and Fe{1.01}Te{0.60}Se{0.40} (Se40) are superconductors with Tc = 13.4 K and 13.9 K, respectively. There are no evident magnetic transitions in either Se38 or Se40. Properties of these two single crystals are almost identical at high temperatures, but start to diverge below T ~ 80 K. Perhaps we see the onset of scattering that might be a related to changes in short range magnetic correlations caused by selenium doping.
