Photoemission study of iron-based superconductor

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/22/8/087406

Abstract The iron-based superconductivity (IBSC) is a great challenge in correlated system. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) provides electronic structure of the IBSCs, the pairing strength, and the order parameter symmetry. Here, we briefly review the recent progress in IBSCs and focus on the results from ARPES. The ARPES study shows the electronic structure of "122", "111", "11", and "122^*" families of IBSCs. It has been agreed that the IBSCs are unconventional superconductors in strong coupling region. The order parameter symmetry basically follows s_± form with considerable out-of-plane contribution.

Keywords: iron-based superconductor angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy gap pairing symmetry
