Robustness of s-wave Pairing in Electron-Overdoped ${\text{A}}_{1-y}{\text{Fe}}_{2-x}{\text{Se}}_2$

Abstract

Using self consistent mean field and functional renormalization group approaches we show that s-wave pairing symmetry is robust in the heavily electron-doped iron chalcogenides $(\text{K, Cs}){\text{Fe}}_{2-x}{\text{Se}}_2$. This is because in these materials the leading antiferromagnetic (AFM) exchange coupling is between next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) sites while the nearest neighbor (NN) magnetic exchange coupling is ferromagnetic (FM). This is different from the iron pnictides, where the NN magnetic exchange coupling is AFM and leads to strong competition between s-wave and d-wave pairing in the electron overdoped region. Our finding of a robust s-wave pairing in $(\text{K, Cs}){\text{Fe}}_{2-x}{\text{Se}}_2$ differs from the d-wave pairing result obtained by other theories where non-local bare interaction terms and the NNN $J_2$ term are underestimated. Detecting the pairing symmetry in $(\text{K, Cs}){\text{Fe}}_{2-x}{\text{Se}}_2$ may hence provide important insights regarding the mechanism of superconducting pairing in iron based superconductors.
