The exact superconducting phase of K2-xFe4+ySe5 has yet conclusively decided since its discovery due to its intrinsic multiphase in early material. In an attempt to resolve the mystery, we have carried out systematic structural studies on a set of well controlled samples with exact chemical stoichiometry K2-xFe4+xSe5 (x=0~0.3) that are heat-treated at different temperatures. Our investigations, besides the determination of superconducting transition, focus on the detailed temperature evolution of the crystalline phases using high resolution synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction. Our results show that superconductivity appears only in those samples been treated at high enough temperature and then quenched to room temperature. The volume fraction of superconducting transition strongly depends on the annealing temperature used. The most striking result is the observation of a clear contrast in crystalline phase between the non-superconducting parent compound K2Fe4Se5 and the superconducting K2-xFe4+ySe5 samples. The x-ray diffraction patterned can be well indexed to the phase with I4/m symmetry in all temperature investigated. However, we need two phases with similar I4/m symmetry but different parameters to best fit the data at temperature below the Fe-vacancy order temperature. The results strongly suggest that superconductivity in K2-xFe4+ySe5 critically depends on the occupation of Fe atoms on the originally empty 4d site.

The parent compound of an unconventional superconductor must contain unusual correlated electronic and magnetic properties of its own. In the high-Tc potassium intercalated FeSe, there has been significant debate regarding what the exact parent compo
und is. Our studies unambiguously show that the Fe-vacancy ordered K2Fe4Se5 is the magnetic, Mott insulating parent compound of the superconducting state. Non-superconducting K2Fe4Se5 becomes a superconductor after high temperature annealing, and the overall picture indicates that superconductivity in K2-xFe4+ySe5 originates from the Fe-vacancy order to disorder transition. Thus, the long pending question whether magnetic and superconducting state are competing or cooperating for cuprate superconductors may also apply to the Fe-chalcogenide superconductors. It is believed that the iron selenides and related compounds will provide essential information to understand the origin of superconductivity in the iron-based superconductors, and possibly to the superconducting cuprates.
We consider the spin response within the five-orbital model for iron-based superconductors and study two cases: equal and unequal gaps in different bands. In the first case, the spin resonance peak in the superconducting state appears below the chara
cteristic energy scale determined by the gap magnitude, $2Delta_L$. In the second case, the energy scale corresponds to the sum of smaller and larger gap magnitudes, $Delta_L + Delta_S$. Increasing the values of the Hubbard interaction and the Hunds exchange, we observe a shift of the spin resonance energy to lower frequencies.
We show that only a few percentage of Sn doping at the Ba site on BaFe$_2$As$_2$, can cause electronic topological transition, namely, the Lifshitz transition. A hole like d$_{xy}$ band of Fe undergoes electron like transition due to 4% Sn doping. Li
fshitz transition is found in BaFe$_2$As$_2$ system around all the high symmetry points. Our detailed first principles simulation predicts absence of any Lifshitz transition in other 122 family compounds like SrFe$_2$As$_2$, CaFe$_2$As$_2$. This work bears practical significance due to the facts that a few percentage of Sn impurity is in-built in tin-flux grown single crystals method of synthesizing 122 materials and inter-relationship among the Lifshitz transition, magnetism and superconductivity.
The Fe-based superconductors (FBS) are an important new class of superconducting materials. As with any new superconductor with a high transition temperature and upper critical field, there is a need to establish what their applications potential mig
ht be. Applications require high critical current densities, so the usefulness of any new superconductor is determined both by the capability to develop strong vortex pinning and by the absence or ability to overcome any strong current-limiting mechanisms of which grain boundaries in the cuprates are a cautionary example. In this review we first consider the positive role that grain boundary properties play in the metallic, low temperature superconductors and then review the theoretical background and current experimental data relating to the properties of grain boundaries in FBS polycrystals, bi-crystal thin films, and wires. Based on this evidence, we conclude that grain boundaries in FBS are weak linked in a qualitatively similar way to grain boundaries in the cuprate superconductors, but also that the effects are a little less marked. Initial experiments with the textured substrates used for cuprate coated conductors show similar benefit for the critical current density of FBS thin films too. We also note that the particular richness of the pairing symmetry and the multiband parent state in FBS may provide opportunities for grain boundary modification as a better understanding of their pairing state and grain boundary properties are developed.
Topological superconductivity has been sought for in a variety of heterostructure systems, the interest being that a material displaying such a phenomenon could prove to be the ideal platform to support Majorana fermions, which in turn could be the b
asis for advanced qubit technologies. Recently the high Tc family of superconductors, $FeSe_{x}Te_{1-x}$, have been shown to exhibit the property of topological superconductivity and further, evidence has been found for the presence of Majorana fermions. We have studied the interplay of topology, magnetism and superconductivity in the $FeSe_{x}Te_{1-x}$ family using high-resolution laser-based photoemission. At the bulk superconducting transition, a gap opens at the chemical potential as expected. However, a second gap is observed to open at the Dirac point in the topological surface state. The associated mass acquisition in the topological state points to time-reversal symmetry breaking, probably associated with the formation of ferromagnetism in the surface layer. The presence of intrinsic ferromagnetism combined with strong spin-orbit coupling provides an ideal platform for a range of exotic topological phenomena.
