Abstract
The iron based superconductors continue to prove an exciting system for the study of superconductivity: the recent discovery of a reentrant tetragonal phase with SDW magnetic ordering has opened new avenues to study the competition between microscopically coexistent superconductivity and magnetism. This intriguing new phase is not only an exceedingly rare example of a magnetic structure with two ordering vectors, and consequently a confirmation of itinerate magnetism, but has also allowed for the determination of spin fluctuations as the driving mechanism behind the phase evolution in these materials. Evidence has been mounting of the universality of C$_{\mathrm{4}}$ in the hole doped iron pnictides providing a useful playground for the comparison of how this phase behaves as it is stabilized out of different parent compounds and through different dopant atoms. Here all members of the hole doped family which show the C$_{\mathrm{4}}$ phase will be compared and the parameters which appear to tune the phase's extent in temperature and phase space will be discussed.
