TLDR
It is argued that the newly discovered superconductivity in a nearly magnetic, Fe-based layered compound is unconventional and mediated by antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations, though different from the usual superexchange and specific to this compound.
Abstract
We argue that the newly discovered superconductivity in a nearly magnetic, Fe-based layered compound is unconventional and mediated by antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations, though different from the usual superexchange and specific to this compound. This resulting state is an example of extended s-wave pairing with a sign reversal of the order parameter between different Fermi surface sheets. The main role of doping in this scenario is to lower the density of states and suppress the pair-breaking ferromagnetic fluctuations.

Influence of $s_{\pm}$ symmetry on unconventional superconductivity in pnictides above the Pauli limit -- two-band model study

TL;DR: In this paper, the two-band Fe-based superconductors (FeSC) model with s-wave and wave symmetry was analyzed in real space and the results showed that the phase transition from the BCS to the FFLO phase is always first order.
