We present self-consistent calculations of the multi-gap structure measured in some Fe-based superconductors. These materials are known to have structural disorder in real space and a multi-gap structure due to the $3d$ Fe-orbitals contributing to a complex Fermi surface topology with hole and electron pockets. Different experiments identify three s-wave like superconducting gaps with a single critical temperature ($T_c$). We investigate the temperature dependence of these gaps by a multi-band Bogoliubov-deGennes theory at different pockets in the presence of effective hybridizations between some bands and an attractive temperature dependent intra-band interaction. We show that this approach reproduces the three observed gaps and single $T_c$ in different compounds of Ba$_{1-x}$K$_{x}$Fe$_2$As$_2$, providing some insights on the inter-band interactions.

We study the dynamical quasiparticle scattering by spin and charge fluctuations in Fe-based pnictides within a five-orbital model with on-site interactions. The leading contribution to the scattering rate is calculated from the second-order diagrams with the polarization operator calculated in the random-phase approximation. We find one-particle scattering rates which are highly anisotropic on each Fermi surface sheet due to the momentum dependence of the spin susceptibility and the multi-orbital composition of each Fermi pocket. This fact, combined with the anisotropy of the effective mass, produces disparity between electrons and holes in conductivity, the Hall coefficient, and the Raman initial slope, in qualitative agreement with experimental data.
We study the spin resonance peak in recently discovered iron-based superconductors. The resonance peak observed in inelastic neutron scattering experiments agrees well with predicted results for the extended $s$-wave ($s_pm$) gap symmetry. Recent neutron scattering measurements show that there is a disparity between longitudinal and transverse components of the dynamical spin susceptibility. Such breaking of the spin-rotational invariance in the spin-liquid phase can occur due to spin-orbit coupling. We study the role of the spin-orbit interaction in the multiorbital model for Fe-pnictides and show how it affects the spin resonance feature.
This paper discusses the synthesis, characterization, and comprehensive study of Ba-122 single crystals with various substitutions and various $T_c$. The paper uses five complementary techniques to obtain a self-consistent set of data on the superconducting properties of Ba-122. A major conclusion of the authors work is the coexistence of two superconducting condensates differing in the electron-boson coupling strength. The two gaps that develop in distinct Fermi surface sheets are nodeless in the $k_xk_y$-plane and exhibit s-wave symmetry, the two-band model represents a sufficient data description tool. A moderate interband coupling and a considerable Coulomb repulsion in the description of the two-gap superconducting state of barium pnictides favor the $s^{++}$-model.
Iron-based superconductors were discovered seven years ago, in 2008. This short review summarizes what we learned about these materials over the last seven years, what are open questions, and what new physics we expect to extract from studies of this new class of high-temperature superconductors.
High resolution photoemission measurements have been carried out on non-superconducting LaOFeAs parent compound and various superconducting R(O1-xFx)FeAs (R=La, Ce and Pr) compounds. We found that the parent LaOFeAs compound shows a metallic character. Through extensive measurements, we have identified several common features in the electronic structure of these Fe-based compounds: (1). 0.2 eV feature in the valence band; (2). A universal 13~16 meV feature; (3). A clear Fermi cutoff showing zero leading-edge shift in the superconducting state;(4). Lack of superconducting coherence peak(s); (5). Near EF spectral weight suppression with decreasing temperature. These universal features can provide important information about band structure, superconducting gap and pseudogap in these Fe-based materials.
