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.

Kramers non-magnetic superconductivity in LnNiAsO superconductors

TL;DR: This work confirms that the nickel-based oxyarsenide superconductors are substantially different in mechanism to iron-based ones, and are likely to be described by the conventional superconductivity theory.

Superconducting order parameter and bosonic mode in hydrogen-substituted NdFeAsO 0.6 H 0.36 revealed by multiple-Andreev-reflection spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, a double-dome superconducting state in hydrogen-substituted NdFeAsO was shown to be possible in its phase diagram, thus foreshadowing extraordinary physics as compared with other iron-based oxypnictides.
