Abstract

We address two important issues that arise in recent studies of iron-based superconductivity. (1) Why are the Tc of AxFe2−ySe2 (A=K, Rb, Cs) and the single unit cell FeSe on SrTiO3 so high despite both only having electron pockets? (2) What (if any) are the effects of orbital order and orbital fluctuation on the Cooper pairing. Our main conclusions are the following: (1) removing hole pockets releases frustration of Cooper pairing from their band vorticity, therefore can enhance Tc, and (2) orbital fluctuation has negligible effect on Cooper pairing.
