Resistivity saturation in PrFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_y$ superconductor: An   evidence of strong electron-phonon coupling
  We have measured the resistivity of PrFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_y$ samples over a wide range of temperature in order to elucidate the role of electron-phonon interaction on normal- and superconducting-state properties. The linear T dependence of $\rho$ above 170 K followed by a saturationlike behavior at higher temperature is a clear signature of strong electron-phonon coupling.   From the analysis of T dependence of $\rho$, we have estimated several normal-state parameters useful for understanding the origin of superconductivity in this system. Our results suggest that Fe-based oxypnictides are phonon mediated BCS superconductors like Chevrel phases and A15 compounds.
