Structural, magnetic and electronic properties of the iron–chalcogenide AxFe2-ySe2 (A=K, Cs, Rb, and Tl, etc.) superconductors
The latest discovery of a new iron–chalcogenide superconductor AxFe2-ySe2 (A = K, Cs, Rb, and Tl, etc.) has attracted much attention due to a number of its unique characteristics, such as the possible insulating state of the parent compound, the existence of Fe-vacancy and its ordering, a new form of magnetic structure and its interplay with superconductivity, and the peculiar electronic structures that are distinct from other Fe-based superconductors. In this paper, we present a brief review on the structural, magnetic and electronic properties of this new superconductor, with an emphasis on the electronic structure and superconducting gap. Issues and future perspectives are discussed at the end of the paper.

The superconducting gap size listed in Table 4 was obtained in ARPES by either fitting the symmetrized EDCs using the phenonolological formula as proposed in: M. R. Norman et al., Phys. Rev. B, 1998, 57: R11093, or picking up the peak position. We found that, when the signal is weak and the selected energy window is large to cover the overall peak, the gap value from the fitting procedure tends to be (2∼3) meV larger than that obtained directly from the peak position [48]. The gap size difference in Table IV needs to take into account such different ways of determining the gap size. |
