The Pressure Effects on Electronic Structure of Iron Chalcogenide Superconductors $FeSe_{1-x}Te_x$

We study the electronic structure of iron-based superconductors $FeSe_{1-x}Te_x$ within the density functional theory. We pay particular attention to the pressure effects on the Fermi surface (FS) topology, which seem to be correlated with a critical superconducting temperature $T_C$ of iron chalcogenides and pnictides. A reduction of the FS nesting between hole and electron cylinders with increasing pressure is observed, which can lead to higher values of $T_C$. The tellurium substitution into selenium sites yields FS changes similar to the pressure effect.
