摘要：

Understanding iron-based superconductors requires high-quality impurity-free single crystals. So far they have been elusive for beta-FeSe and extraction of intrinsic materials properties has been compromised by several magnetic-impurity phases. Here, we report synchrotron-clean beta-FeSe superconducting single crystals grown via LiCl/CsCl flux method. Phase purity yields evidence for a defect-induced weak ferromagnetism that coexists with superconductivity below T-c. In contrast to Fe1+y Te-based superconductors, our results reveal that the interstitial Fe(2) site is not occupied and that all contribution to density of states at the Fermi level must come from in-plane Fe(1).
