Charge Dynamics in 122 Iron-Based Superconductors

This book combines highly accurate optical spectroscopy data on the recently discovered iron-based high-temperature superconductors with an incisive theoretical analysis.

Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, Germany Applies multiple independent experimental probes to reveal several common trends in the charge dynamics of 122 iron-based superconductors Provides a universal description of the optical conductivity of 122 iron pnictides in the framework of the Eliashberg theory of superconductivity Presents the discovery of the nanoscale layering of superconducting and antiferromagnetic phases in 245 iron selenides Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Autorentext
The author obtained his diploma in theoretical physics from the Belarusian State University in 2007 with highest honors. He then attended a Master's course in experimental physics at the University of Stuttgart, specializing in Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute gases. Upon successful completion of this course of study in May 2009 he commenced his doctoral research in the solid-state spectroscopy group of Bernhard Keimer at the Max Planck Institute for Solid-State Research in Stuttgart. In December 2012 he graduated from the University of Stuttgart with highest honors.
