Radiation effects on iron-based superconductors
نویسنده
چکیده
This article reviews the results of irradiation experiments on iron-based superconductors, with particular emphasis on neutron irradiation. These experiments were either done to foster the theoretical understanding of superconductivity in these compounds by investigating the influence of impurity scattering on the fundamental superconducting properties or to investigate vortex physics and to benchmark flux pinning in view of applications. Results on the most explored iron-based compounds are summarized and compared with data on metallic superconductors, cuprates, and MgB2. Similarities and differences are discussed as well as the influence of the type and energy of the particles used for the experiments.

متن کاملComparative Review on Thin Film Growth of Iron-Based Superconductors
Since the discovery of the novel iron-based superconductors, both theoretical and experimental studies have been performed intensively. Because iron-based superconductors have a smaller anisotropy than high-Tc cuprates and a high superconducting transition temperature, there have been a lot of researchers working on the film fabrication of iron-based superconductors and their application. Accor...

Since their discovery in 2008, the development of ironbased superconducting materials has been undertaken because of their high critical field, relatively high critical temperature and metal like behavior, that make these materials promising for a number of applications, including magnets and cables. Iron-based superconductors have received a great deal of attention also from the fundamental po...
متن کاملQuantum Monte Carlo study of a dominant s-wave pairing symmetry in iron-based superconductors.
We perform a systematic quantum Monte Carlo study of the pairing correlation in the S(4) symmetric microscopic model for iron-based superconductors. It is found that the pairing with an extensive s-wave symmetry robustly dominates over other pairings at low temperature in a reasonable parameter region regardless of the change of Fermi surface topologies. The pairing susceptibility, the effectiv...
متن کاملSpectroscopic Studies of Quasiparticle Low-Energy Excitations in Cuprate and Iron-Based High-Temperature Superconductors
Recent development in the physics of high-temperature superconductivity is reviewed, with special emphasis on the studies of the low-energy excitations of cuprate and iron-based superconductors. For cuprate superconductors, a phenomenology based on coexisting competing orders with superconductivity in the ground state of these doped Mott insulators is shown to provide a consistent account for a...
