Fe1.06S: Role of “extra” Fe atoms on stability and magnetism?Stability? The extra Fe atom provides more
electrons so the Fermi level can reach a “near gap” in the energy level diagram and optimize Fe-Fe bonding;
Magnetism? “FeS” has VERY small magnetic moments, diagonal antiferromagnetic ordering; Fe1.06S has larger magnetic moments, concentric antiferromagnetically ordered rings moving out from the extra Fe atoms
