Abstract

The discovery of an iron-based high critical-temperature superconductor, fluorine-doped 1111-type LaFeAsO, in 2008 globally re-emerged extensive study on new superconductor materials. The rapid research progress for past decade in the science and technology has resulted in the accumulation of a vast amount of knowledge on materials, paring mechanisms, physical/chemical properties, and future applications. This chapter reviews entire progress in the technical status of materials, thin films, and devices such as Josephson junctions and coated conductors of iron-based superconductors.
