The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in iron pnictides raised the possibility an unconventional superconducting mechanism multiband materials. observation Fermi-surface (FS)-dependent nodeless gaps suggested that inter-FS interactions may play a crucial role pairing. In optimally hole-doped Ba(0.6)K(0.4)Fe(2)As(2), pairing strength is enhanced simultaneously (2Delta/T(c) approximately 7) on nearly nested FS pockets, i.e., inner hole-like (alpha) and 2 hybridized electron-like...

The autocorrelation of angle resolved photoemission data from the high temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d shows distinct peaks in momentum space which disperse with binding energy superconducting state, but not pseudogap phase. Although it is tempting to attribute a non-dispersive behavior some ordering phenomenon, de-construction reveals that arise ordering, rather tips Fermi arcs, themselves do change energy.

Nevertheless, preferential during growth under nonequilibrium conditions of fundamental importance, for example, enhance properties nitrogen-vacancy (N-V) centers; therefore, this a promising candidate qubit. However, lack suitable experimental techniques made it difficult study crystal- and chemical-site-resolved local structures dopants. Here, we confirm...
