Robust Spin Fluctuations and s plus or minus Pairing in the Heavily Electron Doped Iron-Based Superconductors

We theoretically study the spin fluctuation and superconductivity in La1111 and Sm1111 iron-based superconductors for a wide range of electron doping. When we take into account the band structure variation by electron doping, the hole Fermi surface originating from the d...-Y... orbital turns out to be robust against electron doping, and this gives rise to large spin fluctuations and consequently s plus or minus pairing even in the heavily doped regime. The stable hole Fermi surface is larger for Sm1111 than for La1111, which can be considered as the origin of the apparent difference in the phase diagram.
