It is concluded that the multiple spin-fluctuation modes arising from the nesting across the disconnected Fermi surfaces realize an extended s-wave Pairing, while d-wave pairing can also be another candidate.
Abstract
For a newly discovered iron-based high ${T}_{c}$ superconductor ${\mathrm{LaFeAsO}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{F}}_{x}$, we have constructed a minimal model, where inclusion of all five Fe $d$ bands is found to be necessary. The random-phase approximation is applied to the model to investigate the origin of superconductivity. We conclude that the multiple spin-fluctuation modes arising from the nesting across the disconnected Fermi surfaces realize an extended $s$-wave pairing, while $d$-wave pairing can also be another candidate.

Quasiparticle Interference and Symmetry of Superconducting Order Parameter in Strongly Electron-Doped Iron-based Superconductors

Abstract: Motivated by recent experimental reports of significant spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and a sign-changing order-parameter in the Li$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$(OHFe)$_{1-y}$Zn$_y$Se superconductor with only electron pockets present, we study the possible Cooper-pairing symmetries and their quasiparticle interference (QPI) signatures. We find that each of the resulting states - $s$-wave, $d$-wave and helical $p$-wave - can have a fully gapped density of states (DOS) consistent with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments and, due to spin-orbit coupling, are a mixture of spin singlet and triplet components leading to intra- and inter-band features in the QPI signal. Analyzing predicted QPI patterns we find that only the spin-triplet dominated even parity $A_{1g}$ (s-wave) and $B_{2g}$ (d-wave) pairing states are consistent with the experimental data. Additionally, we show that these states can indeed be realized in a microscopic model with atomic-like interactions and study their possible signatures in spin-resolved STM experiments.

Magnetic Rare-Earth Impurity Resonance Bound States in Iron-Based Superconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of magnetic impurities on the local quasiparticle density of states (LDOS) in iron-based superconductors was investigated, and the impurity-induced bound states were a probe for the nodal structure of the extended s-wave symmetry in ferropnictides.
