In iron pnictides, high temperature superconductivity emerges after suppressing antiferromagnetism by doping. Here we show that antiferromagnetism in Ca$_{1-x}$La$_x$FeAs$_2$ is robust against and even enhanced by doping. Using…
We use magnetic long range order as a tool to probe the Cooper pair wave function in the iron arsenide superconductors. We show theoretically that antiferromagnetism and superconductivity can coexist in these materials only if Cooper pairs…

Superconductivity up to 30 K in charge neutrally doped BaFe2[As(1-x)P(x)]2 has been ascribed to chemical pressure, caused by the shrinking unit cell. But the latter induces no superconductivity in [Ba(1-x)Sr(x)]Fe2As2 in spite of the same…
