Abstract

The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in iron-based superconductors [1] has attracted intense recent research attention, especially given that these compounds contain no Cu atoms in comparison with the extensively studied cuprate families, the well-known high-temperature superconductors [2]. Similar to that in cuprate families, these systems show close proximity of superconductivity to the magnetic phase, and therefore the intimate relationship between these two seemingly exclusive phases is of great interest [3–15].
