摘要
The electronic and magnetic properties of the excess Fe in iron telluride Fe(1+x)Te are studied by density functional calculations. We find that the excess Fe occurs with valence near Fe+ and thus provides electron doping of approximately one carrier per Fe, and furthermore that the excess Fe is strongly magnetic. Thus it will provide local moments that interact with the plane Fe magnetism, and these are expected to persist in phases where the magnetism of the planes is destroyed, for example, by pressure or doping. The results are discussed in the context of superconductivity.
