Role of the orbital degree of freedom in iron-based superconductors

M Yi, Y Zhang, ZX Shen, D Lu - npj Quantum Materials, 2017 - nature.com
Almost a decade has passed since the serendipitous discovery of the iron-based high
temperature superconductors (FeSCs) in 2008. The fact that, as in the copper oxide high …

Topological characters in thin films

X Wu, S Qin, Y Liang, H Fan, J Hu - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We investigate topological properties in the Fe (Te, Se) thin films. We find that the single
layer FeTe 1− x Se x has nontrivial Z 2 topological invariance which originates from the …

Electronic phase separation: Recent progress in the old problem

MY Kagan, KI Kugel, AL Rakhmanov - Physics Reports, 2021 - Elsevier
We consider the nanoscale electronic phase separation in a wide class of different

Topological phases in the single-layer FeSe

N Hao, J Hu - Physical Review X, 2014 - APS
A distinct electronic structure was observed in the single-layer FeSe which shows
surprisingly high-temperature superconductivity over 65 K. Here, we demonstrate that the …

Possible nodal superconducting gap and Lifshitz transition in heavily hole-doped BaKFeAs

We performed a high-energy resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy
investigation of overdoped Ba 0.1 K 0.9 Fe 2 As 2 with T c= 9 K. The Fermi surface topology …

Electronic evidence of an insulator–superconductor crossover in single-layer FeSe/SrTiO3 films

In high-temperature cuprate superconductors, it is now generally agreed that
superconductivity is realized by doping an antiferromagnetic Mott (charge transfer) insulator …

Evidence for an -wave superconducting gap in KFeSe from angle-resolved photoemission

M Xu, QQ Ge, R Peng, ZR Ye, J Jiang, F Chen… - Physical Review B …, 2012 - APS
