The zero-temperature value of the in-plane London penetration depth, λ a b ( 0 ) , has been measured in single crystals of Ba ( Fe 1 - x Co x ) 2 As 2 as a function of the Co concentration, x , across both the underdoped and overdoped superconducting regions of the phase diagram. For x ≳ 0.047 , λ a b ( 0 ) has been found to have values between 120 ± 50 and 300 ± 50 nm . A pronounced increase in λ a b ( 0 ) , to a value as high as 950 ± 50 nm , has been observed for x ≲ 0.047 , corresponding to the region of the phase diagram where the itinerant antiferromagnetic and superconducting phases coexist and compete. Direct determination of the doping-dependent λ a b ( 0 ) has allowed us to track the evolution of the temperature-dependent superfluid density, from which we infer the development of a pronounced superconducting gap anisotropy at the edges of the superconducting dome.
