Abstract
Using neutron inelastic scattering, we investigate the low-energy spin fluctuations in as a function of both temperature and interstitial iron concentration. For , the magnetic structure is defined by a commensurate wave vector of (). The spin fluctuations are gapped with a sharp onset at 7 meV and are three dimensional in momentum transfer, becoming two dimensional at higher-energy transfers. On doping with interstitial iron, we find, in , the ordering wave vector is located at the () position and the fluctuations are gapless with the intensity peaked at an energy transfer of 4 meV. These results show that the spin fluctuations in the system can be tuned not only through selenium doping, but also with interstitial iron. We also compare these results with superconducting concentrations and, in particular, the resonance mode in the system.
