Abstract

Nanoscale stripe structures of the parent iron-11 superconductor Fe1.033Te were investigated using low-temperature scanning tunnel microscopy-scanning tunnel spectroscopy (STM-STS). STM topographies and dI/dV maps show clear stripe structures with the bias-dependent multiple periods 2×a0 and a0, where a0 is the lattice constant ∼0.38 nm. The form of the stripe structures seen on dI/dV maps strongly depends on the bias voltage. Varying stripe structures are apparently driven by magnetic order appearing below the transition temperature Ts∼72 K, that is defined by the noticeable drop in the temperature dependence of resistivity, and are strongly influenced by the underlying excess Fe.
