Conventional superconductivity, as used in this review, refers to electron-phonon coupled superconducting electron-pairs described by BCS theory. Unconventional superconductivity refers to superconductors where the Cooper pairs are not…
Recent experiments on certain Fe-based superconductors have hinted at a role for paired electrons in "incipient" bands that are close to, but do not cross the Fermi level. Related theoretical works disagree on whether or not strong-coupling…
The anisotropy of the Fe-based superconductors is much smaller than that of the cuprates and the theoretical calculations. A credible understanding for this experimental fact is still lacking up to now. Here we experimentally study the…
