Normal and superconducting properties of LiFeAs explained in the framework of four-band Eliashberg Theory

In this paper we propose a model to reproduce superconductive and normal properties of the iron pnictide LiFeAs in the framework of the four-band spm wave Eliashberg theory. A confirmation of the multiband nature of the system rises from the experimental measurements of the superconductive gaps and resistivity as function of temperature. We found that the most plausible mechanism is the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation and the estimated values of the total antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation coupling constant in the superconductive and normal state are lambda{tot}=2.00 and lambda{tot,tr}=0.77.
