Abstract

Since the discovery of superconductivity of F-doped LaFeAsO in 2008 [1],iron-based superconductors (iron pnictides and iron chalcogides) have become one of the hottest topics in condensed matter physics, which opens up a new avenue in the study of unconventional high-temperature superconductivity. In spite of the structural similarity to cuprates, iron-based superconductors exhibit some unique characters such as electron pairing symmetry, interplay between magnetism and superconductivity [2–5]. Moreover, iron-based superconductors hold an abundant supply of material systems, and several different phases such as 1111, 111, 122, and 11 have been discovered [6–26]. Despite the intense investigation in the last 5 years, the pairing mechanism in iron-based superconductors remains elusive. One of the reasons is sample quality. To solve the problems, superconducting single crystals or films with extremely high quality are very desirable.
