X-ray reflection from the inner disk of the AGN Ton S180
We analyse a long archival XMM-Newton observation of the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy Ton S180, using the latest reflection models to explore the high quality X-ray spectrum. We find that the iron line is relatively narrow and sharp, and the soft excess is extremely smooth. We cannot find an acceptable reflection model...

Here we show that multiband superconductors with dominant spin singlet, intraband pairing of spin-1/2 electrons can undergo a transition to a state with Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces if spin-orbit coupling, in...

Lifted electron pocket and reversed orbital occupancy imbalance in FeSe
The FeSe nematic phase has been the focus of recent research on iron based superconductors (IBSs) due to its unique properties. A number of electronic structure studies were performed to find the origin of the phase. However, such attempts came out with conflicting results and caused additional controversies. Here, we ...

We investigate the electronic structure of a recently discovered, heavily electron-doped iron based superconductor LaFe$_2$As$_2$. Although first principles calculation shows apparent absence of hole Fermi surfaces around the $\Gamma$ point, we reveal, by hypothetically removing the La $d$ orbital contribution, that a ...

Pressure-induced quantum critical point in a heavily hydrogen-doped iron-based superconductor LaFeAsO
An iron-based superconductor LaFeAsO$_{1-x}$H$_x$ (0 $\leq x \leq$ 0.6) undergoes two antiferromagnetic (AF) phases upon H doping. We investigated the second AF phase ($x$=0.6) using NMR techniques under pressure. At pressures up to 2 GPa, the ground state is a spin-density-wave state with a large gap; however, the gap...

The influence of hydrogen core force shielding on dislocation junctions in iron
The influence of hydrogen on dislocation junctions was analysed by incorporating a hydrogen dependent core force into nodal based discrete dislocation dynamics.

Growth of nematic susceptibility in the field-induced normal state of an iron-based superconductor revealed by elastoresistivity measurements in a 65 T pulsed magnet
In the iron-based superconductors, both nematic and magnetic fluctuations are expected to enhance superconductivity and may originate from a quantum critical point hidden beneath the superconducting dome. The behavior of the non-superconducting state can be an important piece of the puzzle, motivating in this paper the...

The Triplet Resonating Valence Bond State and Superconductivity in Hund's Metals
A central idea in strongly correlated systems is that doping a Mott insulator leads to a superconductor by transforming the resonating valence bonds (RVBs) into spin-singlet Cooper pairs. Here, we argue that a spin-triplet RVB (tRVB) state, driven by spatially, or orbitally anisotropic ferromagnetic interactions can pr...
