Using muon spin rotation and infrared spectroscopy, we investigated the recently discovered superconductor K0.73Fe1.67Se₂ with Tc≈32 K. We show that the combined data can be consistently described in terms of a macroscopically phase-segregated state with a matrix of ∼88% volume fraction that is insulating and strongly magnetic and inclusions with an ∼12%...
