Kamihara and coworkers' report of superconductivity at T c= 26 K in fluorine-doped
LaFeAsO inspired a worldwide effort to understand the nature of the superconductivity in this …

Since the discovery of high T c iron-based superconductors in early 2008, more than 15,000
papers have been published as a result of intensive research. This paper describes the …

The recently discovered Fe-pnictide and chalcogenide superconductors display low-
temperature properties suggesting superconducting gap structures which appear to vary …

The response of the worldwide scientific community to the discovery in 2008 of
superconductivity at T c= 26 K in the Fe-based compound LaFeAsO1− x F x has been very …

I review recent works on the symmetry and the structure of the superconducting gap in Fe-
based superconductors (FeSCs) and on the underlying pairing mechanism in these …

The superconducting state is characterized by a pairing of electrons with a superconducting
gap on the Fermi surface. In iron-based superconductors, an unconventional pairing state …

In this review, the authors present a summary of experimental reports on newly discovered
iron-based superconductors as they were known at the end of 2008. At the same time, this …

We study the effect of the lattice structure on the spin-fluctuation-mediated superconductivity
in the iron pnictides adopting the five-band models of several virtual lattice structures of …

Effective low-energy Hamiltonians for several different families of iron-based
superconductors are compared after deriving them from the downfolding scheme based on …

Based on the five-orbital model, we study the effect of local impurity in iron pnictides, and
find that the interband impurity scattering is promoted by the d-orbital degree of freedom …
