    Bulk and Single Crystal Growth Progress of Iron-Based Superconductors (FBS): 1111 and 1144
    (Basel : MDPI AG, 2022) Singh, Shiv J.; Sturza, Mihai I.
    The discovery of iron-based superconductors (FBS) and their superconducting properties has generated huge research interest and provided a very rich physics high Tc family for fundamental and experimental studies. The 1111 (REFeAsO, RE = Rare earth) and 1144 (AEAFe4As4, AE = Ca, Eu; A = K, Rb) families are the two most important families of FBS, which offer the high Tc of 58 K and 36 K with doping and without doping, respectively. Furthermore, the crystal growth of these families is not an easy process, and a lot of efforts have been reported in this direction. However, the preparation of high-quality and suitable-sized samples is still challenging. In this short review, we will summarize the growth of materials with their superconducting properties, especially polycrystals and single crystals, for the 1111 and 1144 families, and make a short comparison between them to understand the developmental issues.

    Electronic properties of molecular solids: The peculiar case of solid picene
    (Milton Park : Taylor & Francis, 2010) Roth, Friedrich; Gatti, Matteo; Cudazzo, Pierluigi; Grobosch, Mandy; Mahns, Benjamin; Büchner, Bernd; Rubio, Angel; Knupfer, Martin
    Recently, a new organic superconductor, K-intercalated picene, with high transition temperatures Tc (up to 18 K) has been discovered. We have investigated the electronic properties of an undoped relative of this superconductor, solid picene, using a combination of experimental and theoretical methods. Our results provide deep insights into the occupied and unoccupied electronic states.
