    CRITICAL ACTIVATION PARAMETERS FOR LaFeAsO-BASED SUPERCONDUCTORS

    The occurrence of high-Tc superconductivity in the iron pnictides shares a similar amorphous characteristic with that of high-Tc superconducting cuprates. Here we show that nearly frictionless (electric-field-driven) transport of condensed electrons in amorphous superconductors could happen after using the Eyring's transition-rate approach which has been successfully adopted to study the critical transport of other superconductors as well as supersolid helium in very low temperature environment. The critical temperatures related to the nearly frictionless transport of electrons were found to be directly relevant to the superconducting temperature of high-temperature superconductors (like La[O1-xFx]FeAs(x = 0.11-0.12)) after selecting specific activation energies and activation volumes.
