In this article we are provided the temperature dependent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) study of different iron-based superconductors (FeSe, Fe(Se, Te), Ba(Co, Fe)As) in the vicinity of the superconducting transition. The existence of a strong downshift of the bands in the centre of the Brillouin zone (BZ) with temperature decrease is established for Fe(Se, Te). The value of such a shift for temperatures 4 K and 20 K is approximately 5 meV. Such changes are not observed for the $d_{yz}$ band of Ba(Co, Fe)$_2$As$_2$ and for the $d_{xz}$ band of FeSe. The observed strong dependence is likely to be the result of an interplay between the superconducting state and the mechanism that shifts bands in the temperature range from 20 to 300 K.
Key words: iron-based superconductors, ARPES, FeSe, electronic band structure, iron pnictides, iron chalcogenides.
