We propose an effective single-band model for the newly discovered iron selenide superconductors A$_x$Fe$_{2-y}$Se$_2$ (A=Tl,K,Rb,Cs). Based on this minimum model and the random phase approximation, the $d_{x^2-y^2}$ pairing symmetry is…
We studied the pairing instabilities in K$_x$Fe$_{2-y}$Se$_2$ using a two stage functional renormalization group (FRG) method. Our results suggest the leading and subleading pairing symmetries are nodeless $d_{x^2-y^2}$ and nodal extended…

We study the pairing symmetry of a two orbital $J_1-J_2$ model for FeAs layers in oxypnictides. We vary the doping and the value of $J_1$ and $J_2$ to compare all possible pairing symmetries in a mean-field calculation. We show that the…
