Electronic Correlations and Magnetic Frustration in the Iron Pnictides

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr Jonathan Keeling .

Since the surprising discovery of high temperature superconductivity in the iron pnictides in 2008, a large body of physical properties have already been accumulated. These properties provide the basis for considerations on the microscopic physics of these copper-free systems.

Based on the fact that they are “bad metals”, I will make the case that these systems are at the boundary between itinerancy and interaction-induced localization; in other words, they are metals close to a Mott transition. I will show how such a picture naturally leads to magnetic frustration in the form of J1-J2 superexchange interactions on the iron square lattice. Finally, I will describe the implications of the resulting microscopic model for the existing experiments on magnetic structure and dynamics, for prospective magnetic quantum criticality, and for superconductivity.
