Description

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is a fundamental interaction in solids that can induce a broad spectrum of unusual physical properties from topologically non-trivial insulating states to unconventional pairing in superconductors. In iron-based superconductors (IBS) its role has so far been considered insignificant with the models based on spin- or orbital fluctuations pairing being the most advanced in the field. In this review we discuss the recent direct observation of SOC by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). (copyright 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
