The Curious Iron Pnictides: A Mottness Point of View — •Mukul Laad1 and Luis Craco21Institut für Theoretische Physik, RWTH Aachen D-52056, Aachen, Germany — 2MPI-CPfS, Nöthnitzer Strasse 40, 01187 Dresden, Germany

Based on perusal of various experiments, we propose that Fe pnictides are “bad metals” close to a Mott-Hubbard instability, as in the classic V2O3. First-principles LDA+DMFT calculations confirm this suspicion, giving excellent quantitative agreement with a host of one- and two-particle responses.

We have studied the instability of this “bad metal” to an unconventional SC, whose gap function has an admixture of extended-s and sxy components. This, to our knowledge, is the first time that such an instability has been studied within LDA+DMFT.
