Due to the cooperative effects of these interactions, the ferro-orbital order with different occupations of dyz and xdzx orbitals occurs and induces the tetragonal-orthorhombic structural transition at Ts, together with the stripe-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) order below TNTN. For a large gg case, we obtain the phase diagram consistent with the doped iron pnictides with Ts>TN for x>0, where the s++-wave superconductivity is mediated by the ferro-orbital fluctuation which is largely enhanced near the ferro-orbital QCP at Xc with Ts→0. On the other hand, for a small g case, the simultaneous phase transition occurs at Ts=TN even for x>0, where the s±-wave superconductivity is mediated by the AFM fluctuation. Both the s-wave states with full superconducting gaps are consistent with most of the experiments but only the former is considered to account for the small Tc-suppression against nonmagnetic impurities.}, pages = {701--710}, title = {Structural transition, ferro-orbital order and its fluctuation-mediated s++-wave superconductivity in iron pnictides}, volume = {152}, year = {2012} }
