superconductivity, iron based superconductors, electronic structure, photoemission spectroscopyAbstract
Recent discovery of a new class of iron based superconductor has caused a great interest of the scientific community, and numerous studies of these compounds have formed one of the highest-priority directions in condensed matter research. The new superconductors are very promising for applications in superconducting magnets as well as in spintronics. But, first of all, as a consequence of their diversity and complex electronic structure and properties, these materials are very interesting for fundamental research. This report is both an attempt to explain why this topic is so important and an opportunity to report the results of study of these materials in Kurdjumov Institute of Metal Physics of NAS of Ukraine.
