Abstract
The iron-based superconductors had a significant impact on condensed matter physics. They have a common structural motif of a two-dimensional square iron lattice and exhibit fruitful physical properties as a strongly correlated electron system. During the extensive investigations, quasi-one-dimensional iron-based spin-ladder compounds attracted much attention as a platform for studying the interplay between magnetic and orbital ordering. In these compounds, BaFe2S3 and BaFe2Se3 were found to exhibit superconductivity under high pressure, having a different crystal and magnetic structure at low temperature. We report a brief review of the iron-based spin-ladder compound and recent studies for BaFe2+δ(S1−xSex)3. BaFe2(S0.75 Se0.25)3 is in the vicinity of the boundary of two different magnetic phases and it is intriguing to perform high pressure experiments for studying superconductivity, since effects of large magnetic fluctuations on superconductivity are expected. The effect of iron stoichiometry on the interplay between magnetism and superconductivity is also studied by changing the iron concentration in BaFe2+δSe3.

The iron-based superconductor had a significant impact on condensed matter physics as a strongly correlated electron system based on the two-dimensional square iron lattice and exhibits characteristic magnetic phases next to the superconducting phase
We focus on the magnetic phase boundary at x = 0.23 to study the superconductivity under high pressure
We studied the superconductivity for the composition in the vicinity of the phase boundary between stripe-type and block-type magnetic ordering in BaFe2 (S1−x Sex
Summary
The iron-based superconductor had a significant impact on condensed matter physics as a strongly correlated electron system based on the two-dimensional square iron lattice and exhibits characteristic magnetic phases next to the superconducting phase. These compounds triggered the extensive studies in the interplay between magnetism, orbital ordering, and superconductivity as a new material platform for further exploration of highTC superconductors [1,2,3,4]. During the extensive investigations for these compounds an iron-based spin-ladder compound attracted much attention due to having a different dimensional property.
