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.

Nematicity, magnetic fluctuation and ferro-spin-orbital ordering in BaFe2As2 family

TL;DR: In this article, the electronic orbital ordering (between d yz and d xz bands) takes place due to local breaking of inplane symmetry that generates two non-equivalent a, b directions in the 122 family of Fe-based superconductors.
