Abstract
A two-orbital model for the LaO_1-xF_xFe As superconductors is investigated
using computational techniques on two-dimensional square clusters. The hopping
amplitudes are derived from orbital overlap integrals, and the spin frustrating
effect of the plaquette-diagonal Fe-Fe hopping is remarked. A `striped' state
is stable in a broad range of couplings in the undoped regime, in agreement
with neutron scattering. Adding two electrons to the undoped ground state of a
small cluster, pairing operators are constructed, similarly as in t-J
investigations for the cuprates. Depending on parameters, two pairing operators
were identified: they involve inter-xz-yz orbital combinations forming spin
singlets and triplets, both transforming as an extended s-wave under rotations.
