LaFeAsO inspired a worldwide effort to understand the nature of the superconductivity in this …

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 …

'Conventional'superconductivity, as used in this review, refers to electron–phonon-coupled
superconducting electron pairs described by BCS theory. Unconventional superconductivity …

This review shows the highlights of a 4-year-long research project supported by the
Japanese Government to explore new superconducting materials and relevant functional …

We show that the competition between magnetism and superconductivity can be used to
determine the pairing state in the iron arsenides. To this end we demonstrate that the …

In the first three years since the discovery of Fe-based high T c superconductors, scanning
tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy have shed light on three important questions …

Point-contact Andreev-reflection spectroscopy (PCAR) has proven to be one of the most
powerful tools in the investigation of superconductors, where it provides information on the …

Since the discovery by the author and collaborators of superconductivity in the first truly
layered compound, TaS2 (pyridine) 1/2, there have been many types of layered …

Utilizing the high stability of calcium and rare-earth hydrides, CaFeAsF 1− x H x (x= 0.0–1.0)
and SmFeAsO 1− x H x (x= 0.0–0.47) have been synthesized using high pressure to form …
