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.

Simultaneous emergence of superconductivity, inter-pocket scattering and nematic fluctuation in potassium-coated FeSe superconductor

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the systematic evolution of electronic structure in a potassium-coated FeSe single crystal and found that the superconductivity emerges when the inter-pocket scattering between two electron pockets is turned on by a Lifshitz transition of Fermi surface.

$S_4$ Symmetric Microscopic Model for Iron-Based Superconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the low energy physics which is responsible for high-T_c$ superconductivity is essentially governed by one effective Hamiltonian with two almost decoupled orbitals near half filling.

ANOMALOUS ELASTIC BEHAVIOR AND ITS CORRELATION WITH SUPERCONDUCTIVITY IN IRON-BASED SUPERCONDUCTOR Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2

TL;DR: In this paper, the elastic properties of Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2 with various Co concentrations x were reviewed and it was suggested that the structural fluctuation, which is measured by S66, plays an important role in the emergence of superconductivity.
