Pnictide superconductors: brief introduction and experimental update

I will present brief overview of the experimental results on novel pnictide superconductors and their parent compounds: oxypnictides and AFe₂As₂ (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) materials. In the second part of the talk pressure induced superconductivity and P-T phase diagrams in AFe₂As₂ will be discussed.
