Iron-based superconductors: Foreword

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We introduce the thematic (open access) issue published in Comptes Rendus Physique. This issue is focused on the so-called Fe-based superconductors that, since the discovery of superconductivity in F-doped LaFeAsO by Hosono group in 2008, have become one of the latest hot topics in the field of condensed matter. The idea is to give an up-to-date overview of the fundamental properties of this novel family of high-Tc superconductors. First we briefly recall the scientific context of superconductivity and its relationship to magnetism in metallic compounds, and then we detail the specific aspects of Fe-based superconductors addressed in the issue.
