Fe1+yTe, the antiferromagnetic parent compound of the Fe-chalcogenide superconductors displays separated magnetic (TN) and structural (Ts) transitions with TN > Ts for y > 0.12 [1].
Such behavior is uncommon for the parent systems of pnictide superconductors.
We performed Mössbauer spectroscopy and muon-spin relaxation experiments on two representative levels of iron excess: i) Fe1.06Te with TN=Ts= 69 K and ii) Fe1.13Te with well separated transitions at TN = 57 K followed by Ts = 46 K.
Both Mössbauer and muon-spin relaxation results clearly display a precursor magnetic state which is only present in Fe1.13Te.
Further, in Fe1.13Te a complex magnetic phase has been observed in the temperature range 40 K ≲ T ≲ 75 K.
We discuss our experimental results in the context of recently published thermodynamic and neutron scattering data on Fe1+yTe[1], [2].
