Abstract

The competition between the singlet superconducting states with \(s\)- and d-wave symmetry of the order parameter is studied within a single-band model with nearest-neighbor attractive interaction. The zero- and finite-temperature ground state phase diagrams are constructed for different ratios between the nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor electron transfer integrals. The mixed \(s+id\) pairing state is shown to form in the intermediate region between \(s\)- and d-waves. The temperature phase transitions between the pure and the mixed pairing state are found.

Superconductivity in Iron Compounds

G. R. Stewart (2011)

Kamihara and coworkers' report of superconductivity at Tc = 26 K in fluorine-doped LaFeAsO inspired a worldwide effort to understand the nature of the superconductivity in this new class of compounds. These iron pnictide and chalcogenide (FePn/Ch) superconductors have Fe electrons at the Fermi surface, plus an unusual Fermiology that can change rapidly with doping, which lead to normal and superconducting state properties very different from those in standard electron-phonon coupled 'conventional' superconductors. Clearly superconductivity and magnetism/magnetic fluctuations are intimately related in the FePn/Ch - and even coexist in some. Open questions, including the superconducting nodal structure in a number of compounds, abound and are often dependent on improved sample quality for their solution. With Tc values up to 56 K, the six distinct Fe-containing superconducting structures exhibit complex but often comparable behaviors. The search for correlations and explanations in this fascinating field of research would benefit from an organization of the large, seemingly disparate data set. This review attempts to provide an overview, using numerous references, with a focus on the materials and their superconductivity.
