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.

Point-contact Andreev-reflection spectroscopy in ReFeAsO1−xFx (Re = La, Sm): Possible evidence for two nodeless gaps

TL;DR: In this article, point-contact Andreev-reflection spectroscopy experiments performed on LaFeAsO 1− x F x (La-1111) polycrystals with T c Â∼Â27 ÂK and Sm FeAsO 0.8 F 0.2 (Sm-1111), with Tc  ∼Â53  K gave differential conductance curves exhibiting two peaks at low bias and two additional structures (peaks or shoulders) at higher bias voltages, an experimental situation quite similar to that observed by the same technique

Physical Properties of Metallic Antiferromagnetic CaCo1.86As2 Single Crystals

TL;DR: Quirianale et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that a collapsed-tetragonal structure with 7(1)% vacancies on the Co sites corresponding to the composition of a single crystal can be obtained from angle-resolved photo-emission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements.

The Delicate Electronic and Magnetic Structure of the LaOFePn System (Pn = pnictogen)

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the pnictogen height on the electronic structure and magnetic moment of LaOFeAs was investigated and the effects of both electron and hole doping within the virtual crystal approximation were investigated.

Superconductivity across Lifshitz transition and anomalous insulating state in surface K–dosed (Li0.8Fe0.2OH)FeSe

TL;DR: It is found that a Γ-centered electron band, which originally lies above the Fermi level (EF), can be continuously tuned to cross EF and contribute a new electron pocket at Γ, which provides new clues to understand superconductivity versus Fermani surface topology and the correlation effect in FeSe-based superconductors.
