Andreev Bound states as a phase sensitive probe of the pairing symmetry of the iron pnictide superconductors

Pouyan Ghaemi, Fa Wang, Ashvin Vishwanath

A leading contender for the pairing symmetry in the Fe-pnictide high temperature superconductors is extended s-wave $s_{\pm }$, a nodeless state in which the pairing changes sign betw…
