Pair-breaking in iron-pnictides
V. G. Kogan

TL;DR
This paper interprets the unusual thermodynamic and magnetic properties of iron-pnictides as evidence of strong pair-breaking effects impacting their superconducting behavior.
Contribution
It provides a novel interpretation linking the observed critical field slopes and specific heat jump to pair-breaking phenomena in iron-pnictides.
Findings
Upper critical field slope proportional to $T_c$
Specific heat jump scales as $T_c^3$
Strong pair-breaking influences superconductivity in iron-pnictides
Abstract
The puzzling features of the slopes of the upper critical field at the critical temperature , , and of the specific heat jump of iron-pnictides are interpreted as caused by a strong pair-breaking.
