Abstract

Magnetization measurements have been performed on single-crystalline Fe1.1_{1.1}Te in pulsed magnetic fields Hc\mathbf{H}\perp\mathbf{c} up to 53 T and temperatures from 4.2 to 65 K. At T=4.2T=4.2 K, a non-reversible reorientation of the antiferromagnetic moments is observed at μ0HR=48\mu_0H_R=48 T as the pulsed field is on the rise. No anomaly is observed at HRH_R during the fall of the field and, as long as the temperature is unchanged, during both rises and falls of additional field pulses. The transition at HRH_R is reactivated if the sample is warmed up above the N\'{e}el temperature TN60T_N\simeq60 K and cooled down again. The magnetic field-temperature phase diagram of Fe1.1_{1.1}Te in Hc\mathbf{H}\perp\mathbf{c} is also investigated. We present the temperature dependence of HRH_R, as well as that of the antiferromagnetic-to-paramagnetic borderline HcH_c in temperatures above 40 K.
