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.

Spin fluctuations in iron pnictides and chalcogenides: From antiferromagnetism to superconductivity

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent experimental investigations of spin dynamics in iron-based superconductors and their parent compounds by means of inelastic neutron scattering is presented, focusing on the most contemporary developments in this field, pertaining to the observations of magnetic resonant modes in new super-conductors, spin anisotropy of low-energy magnetic fluctuations that has now been observed in a wide range of chemical compositions and doping levels, as well as their momentum-space anisotropic incurred by the spin-nematic order.
