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.

Normal state resistivity of Ba1−xKxFe2As2: evidence for multiband strong-coupling behavior

TL;DR: In this paper, the normal state resistivity in multiband superconductors has been analyzed in the framework of Eliashberg theory and the experimental data demonstrate strong deviations from the Bloch-Gruneisen behavior, namely the tendency to saturation of the resistivity at high temperatures.

Exceptional suppression of flux-flow resistivity in FeSe 0.4 Te 0.6 by back-flow from excess Fe atoms and Se /Te substitutions

TL;DR: In this article, the microwave surface impedance of FeSe$ 0.4$Te$ 1.6$ single crystals with and without external magnetic fields was measured and was attributed to a back-flow of superfluids remarkable in disordered superconductors.

Heterostructural one-unit-cell FeSe/SrTiO3: from high-temperature superconductivity to topological states

TL;DR: In this paper, the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of ultrathin FeSe film is significantly enhanced compared to its bulk counterpart and possibly approaches the liquid nitrogen region according to in situ spectroscopic measurements.

Superconducting gap structure of FeSe

TL;DR: A combined study of low-temperature specific heat and scanning tunnelling microscopy measurements on single crystalline FeSe reveals the existence of at least two superconducting gaps which can be represented by a phenomenological two-band model.
