T c max = 15 [K], at x = SC occurs in tetragonal structure 2.In c-Tetra., FS changed into 3D 3.SC disappears in c-Tetra Exp. Result CaFe 2 (As 1-x P x ) 2 Fermi surfaces: Tetragonal (SC) c-Tetra. (NC)
Summary 1.Superconductivity occurs: 1.AFM fluctuation appears nearby high T c SC region 2.With structural change (Orthorhombic to Tetragonal) 2.Fermi Surface is structure dependent. In most cases, SC occurs when FSs are like 2D 3.Essence of Full gap is one of promising key to increase T c in Superconductivity
