Abstract
Through neutron diffraction experiments, including spin-polarized measurements, we find a collinear incommensurate spin-density wave with propagation vector k= [0.4481(4)012] at base temperature in the superconducting parent compound Fe1+xTe. This critical concentration of interstitial iron corresponds to x?12% and leads to crystallographic phase separation at base temperature. The spin-density wave is short-range ordered with a correlation length of 22(3) Å, and as the ordering temperature is approached its propagation vector decreases linearly in the H direction and becomes long-range ordered. Upon further populating the interstitial iron site, the spin-density wave gives way to an incommensurate helical ordering with propagation vector k= [0.3855(2)012] at base temperature. For a sample with x?9(1)%, we also find an incommensurate spin-density wave that competes with the bicollinear commensurate ordering close to the Néel point. The shifting of spectral weight between competing magnetic orderings observed in several samples is supporting evidence for the phase separation being electronic in nature, and hence leads to crystallographic phase separation around the critical interstitial iron concentration of 12%. With results from both powder and single crystal samples, we construct a magnetic-crystallographic phase diagram of Fe1+xTe for 5%<x<17%
