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.

Influence of interstitial Fe to the phase diagram of Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_x$ single crystals

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of doping-temperature ($x$-$T$) phase diagrams for Fe$1+y}$Te$1-x}$Se$_x$ (0 $\leq$ $x$ $\LEq$ 0.43) single crystals before and after removing interstitial Fe.

Nodal multigap superconductivity in KCa 2 Fe 4 As 4 F 2

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the newly discovered Fe-based superconductor displays multigap superconductivity with line nodes, where the gap structure is drastically altered upon replacing one of the spacer layers, indicating the need to understand how the pairing state is tuned by changes of the asymmetry between the pnictogens located either side of the Fe planes.

Phase solitons in multi-band superconductors with and without time-reversal symmetry

TL;DR: In this article, the phase kink between the two time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) pair states is investigated, and a new type of phase slip occurs when the kink becomes unstable and spontaneous magnetic fields are induced.
