Abstract
Fe1.10Te was studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and dielectric response to elucidate the charge fluctuation. The cleaved a-b surface was clearly imaged by UHV-STM at T = 8.3 K. From the line profiles, each Fe site was thought to be equivalent suggesting no static charge order in the antiferromagnetic phase. The temperature dependence of the dielectric permittivity was obtained by measuring the complex impedance. The dielectric permittivity increased with decreasing temperature below the Neel temperature TN. The temperature dependence followed the Curie law, indicating the paraelectric state. It suggests charges fluctuate dynamically in the antiferromagnetic state. We conclude that the dynamical charge fluctuation cooperates with the antiferromagnetic order in Fe1.10Te.
