Abstract
Many studies into the properties of the recently discovered ferropnictide superconductors lead to seemingly contradictory interpretations. Such discrepancies could be explained by the emergence of temporally fluctuating excitations formed by the antiphase boundaries between local spin-density-wave domains.

It is likely that antiferromagnetism has a role in the superconductivity of iron arsenide. But is the magnetism local, as described by the Heisenberg model, or itinerant, which is more in agreement with the Stoner model? The answer is both.

Many studies on the properties of the recently discovered ferropnictide superconductors report seemingly contradictory results. A theoretical study suggests that these contradictions might be resolved by considering such materials as having a strongly magnetic ground state whose domain boundaries fluctuate, preventing their experimental detection.
