Abstract

Using the fluctuation-exchange approximation, we study an effective five-band Hubbard model for iron-pnictide superconductors obtained from the first-principles band structure. We preclude deformations of the Fermi surface due to electronic correlations by introducing a static potential, which mimics the effect of charge relaxation. Evaluating the Eliashberg equation for various dopings and interaction parameters, we find that superconductivity can sustain higher hole than electron doping. Analyzing the symmetry of the superconducting order parameter we observe clear differences between the hole- and electron-doped systems. We discuss the importance of the pnictogen height for superconductivity. Finally, we dissect the pairing interaction into various contributions, which allows us to clarify the relationship between the superconducting transition temperature and the proximity to the antiferromagnetic phase.
