Abstract
Many theoretical models of iron-based superconductors (IBSC) have been proposed, but the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) calculations based on these models are usually missing. We have chosen two models of iron-based superconductors from the literature and computed the Tc values accordingly; recently two models have been announced which suggest that the superconducting electron concentration involved in the pairing mechanism of iron-based superconductors may have been underestimated and that the antiferromagnetism and the induced xy potential may even have a dramatic amplification effect on electron-phonon coupling. We use bulk FeSe, LiFeAs and NaFeAs data to calculate the Tc based on these models and test if the combined model can predict the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of the nanostructured FeSe monolayer well. To substantiate the recently announced xy potential in the literature, we create a two-channel model to separately superimpose the dynamics of the electron in the upper and lower tetrahedral plane. The results of our two-channel model support the literature data. While scientists are still searching for a universal DFT functional that can describe the pairing mechanism of all iron-based superconductors, we base our model on the ARPES data to propose an empirical combination of a DFT functional for revising the electron-phonon scattering matrix in the superconducting state, which ensures that all electrons involved in iron-based superconductivity are included in the computation. Our computational model takes into account this amplifying effect of antiferromagnetism and the correction of the electron-phonon scattering matrix, together with the abnormal soft out-of-plane lattice vibration of the layered structure. This allows us to calculate theoretical Tc values of LiFeAs, NaFeAs and FeSe as a function of pressure that correspond reasonably well to the experimental values. More importantly, by taking into account the interfacial effect between an FeSe monolayer and its SrTiO3 substrate as an additional gain factor, our calculated Tc value is up to 91 K and provides evidence that the strong Tc enhancement recently observed in such monolayers with Tc reaching 100 K may be contributed from the electrons within the ARPES range.

Abstract
We report a combined photoelectron velocity map imaging spectroscopy and density functional theory investigation on the Au3H(-) anion. Transition between the anionic electronic ground state and the neutral electronic ground state is revealed. Vibrationally resolved spectra were recorded at two different photon energies, providing a wealth of spectroscopic information for the electronic ground state of the Au3H. Franck-Condon simulations of the ground-state transition are carried out to assist in the assignment of the vibrationally resolved spectra. The electron affinity and vertical detachment energy of Au3H are measured to be 2.548 ± 0.001 and 2.570 ± 0.001 eV, respectively. Three stretching vibrational modes are determined to be activated upon photodetachment, with the frequencies of 2100 ± 100, 177 ± 10, and 96 ± 10 cm(-1).
