"In February 2008, Dr Hosono and coworkers broke the striking news
that they had found a new superconductor, LaFeAsO1–xFx with Tc = 26
K. This news immediately spread out in the world, and soon after
its Tc was increased to 55 K. This breakthrough rekindled the
superconducting research, which was in the state of a dying fire
after the discovery of Cu oxide superconductor in 1988 and MgB2 in
2001. This book presents a comprehensive review on the present
status of Fe-pnictide superconductors, including the material, a
variety of experimental results (photoemission, neutron scattering,
NMR, etc.), theory, and so forth."

"This timely book covers important developments in both experiments
and theory and provides a much needed summary of the recent efforts
in this active area of research. It addresses the original
arsenic-based compounds and the ideas proposed to understand their
magnetic and superconducting properties, with a variety of results
from neutrons, photoemission, optics, nuclear magnetic resonance,
and other techniques. The balance between early and recent
developments establishes this book as an excellent source of
information for both beginners and advanced researchers."
—Prof. Elbio Ruben Dagotto - University of Tennessee, USA
"The timely appearance of the first review volume on iron-based
superconductors will greatly promote research on this exciting
subject. The authors’ undisputable expertise guarantees its lasting
value. It will serve as the primary reference for research students
and all newcomers to this thriving field."
—Prof. Lu Yu - Chinese Academy of Sciences, China
