We study hydrogen doping effects in an iron-based superconductor LaFeAsO_(1-y) by using the first-principles calculation and explore the reason why the superconducting transition temperature is remarkably enhanced by the hydrogen doping. The present calculations reveal that a hydrogen cation stably locating close to an iron atom attracts a negatively-charged FeAs layer and results in structural distortion favorable for further high temperature transition. In fact, the lattice constant a averaged over the employed supercell shrinks and then the averaged As-Fe-As angle approaches 109.74 degrees with increasing the hydrogen doping amount. Moreover, the calculations clarify electron doping effects of the solute hydrogen and resultant Fermi-level shift. These insights are useful for design of high transition-temperature iron-based superconductors.

Performing the first-principles calculations, we investigate the anisotropy in the superconducting state of iron-based superconductors to gain an insight into their potential applications. The anisotropy ratio $gamma_lambda$ of the c-axis penetration
depth to the ab-plane one is relatively small in BaFe2As2 and LiFeAs, i.e., $gamma_lambda sim 3$, indicating that the transport applications are promising in these superconductors. On the other hand, in those having perovskite type blocking layers such as Sr2ScFePO3 we find a very large value, $gamma_lambda sim 200$, comparable to that in strongly anisotropic high-Tc cuprate Bi2Sr2CaCu2O{8-delta}. Thus, the intrinsic Josephson junction stacks are expected to be formed along the c-axis, and novel Josephson effects due to the multi-gap nature are also suggested in these superconductors.
Iron-based superconductors (FBS) comprise several families of compounds having the same atomic building blocks for superconductivity, but large discrepancies among their physical properties. A longstanding goal in the field has been to decipher the k
ey underlying factors controlling TC and the various doping mechanisms. In FBS materials this is complicated immensely by the different crystal and magnetic structures exhibited by the different families. In this paper, using aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) coupled with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), we observe a universal behavior in the hole concentration and magnetic moment across different families. All the parent materials have the same total number of electrons in the Fe 3d bands; however, the local Fe magnetic moment varies due to different orbital occupancy. Although the common understanding has been that both long-range and local magnetic moments decrease with doping, we find that, near the onset of superconductivity, the local magnetic moment increases and shows a dome-like maximum near optimal doping, where no ordered magnetic moment is present. In addition, we address a longstanding debate concerning how Co substitutions induces superconductivity in the 122 arsenide family, showing that the 3d band filling increases a function of doping. These new microscopic insights into the properties of FBS demonstrate the importance of spin fluctuations for the superconducting state, reveal changes in orbital occupancy among different families of FBS, and confirm charge doping as one of the mechanisms responsible for superconductivity in 122 arsenides.
The Cu substitution effect on the superconductivity of LiFeAs has been studied in comparison with Co/Ni substitution. It is found that the shrinking rate of the lattice parameter c for Cu substitution is much smaller than that of Co/Ni substitution.
This is in conjugation with the observation of ARPES that shows almost the same electron and hole Fermi surfaces (FSs) size for undoped and Cu substituted LiFeAs sample except for a very small hole band sinking below Fermi level with doping, indicating little doping effect at Fermi surface by Cu substitution, in sharp contrast to the much effective carrier doping effect by Ni or Co.
We present an ab-initio study of Ru substitution in two different compounds, BaFe2As2 and LaFeAsO, pure and F-doped. Despite the many similarities among them, Ru substitution has very different effects on these compounds. By means of an unfolding tec
hnique, which allows us to trace back the electronic states into the primitive cell of the pure compounds, we are able to disentangle the effects brought by the local structural deformations and by the impurity potential to the states at the Fermi level. Our results are compared with available experiments and show: i) satisfying agreement of the calculated electronic properties with experiments, confirming the presence of a magnetic order on a short range scale; ii) Fermi surfaces strongly dependent on the internal structural parameters, more than on the impurity potential. These results enter a widely discussed field in the literature and provide a better understanding of the role of Ru in iron pnictides: although isovalent to Fe, the Ru-Fe substitution leads to changes in the band structure at the Fermi level mainly related to local structural modifications.
Recent superconducting transition temperatures (Tc) over 100 K for monolayer FeSe on SrTiO3 have renewed interest in the bulk parent compound. In KCl:AlCl3 flux-transport-grown crystals of FeSe0.94Be0.06, FeSe0.97Be0.03 and, for comparison, FeSe, thi
s work reports doping of FeSe using Be, among the smallest of possible dopants, corresponding to an effective chemical pressure. According to lattice parameter measurements, 6% Be doping shrank the tetragonal FeSe lattice equivalent to a physical pressure of 0.75 GPa. Using this flux-transport method of sample preparation, 6% of Be was the maximum amount of dopant achievable. At this maximal composition of FeSe0.94Be0.06, the lattice unit cell shrinks by 2.4%, Tc - measured in the bulk via specific heat - increases by almost 10%, the Tc vs pressure behavior shifts its peak Tconset downwards by ~1 GPa, the high temperature structural transition around TS = 89 K increases by 1.9 K (in contrast to other dopants in FeSe which uniformly depress TS), and the low temperature specific heat gamma increases by 10 % compared to pure FeSe. Also, upon doping by 6% Be the residual resistivity ratio, rho(300K)/rho(T->0), increases by almost a factor of four, while rho(300K)/rho(T=Tc+) increases by 50%.
