Gap symmetry and structure of Fe-based superconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, a spin fluctuation theory and the sign-changing s-wave symmetry of superconducting gap structures was proposed to account for the nonuniversality of the gap structures of FeNictide and chalcogenide superconductors.

Gap symmetry and structure of Fe-based superconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the properties of Fe-pnictide and chalcogenide superconductors can be explained by considering spin fluctuation theory and accounting for the peculiar electronic structure of these systems coupled with the likely sign-changing s-wave symmetry.
