Robust pairing in ( and 0.05) from the response to electron irradiation
Abstract
Here, controlled pointlike disorder introduced by 2.5-MeV electron irradiation was used to probe the superconducting state of single crystals of CaK(Fe1–xNix)4As4 superconductor at x = 0 and 0.05 doping levels. Both compositions show an increase of the residual resistivity and a decrease of the superconducting transition temperature, Tc, at the rate of dTc/dρ(Tc) ≈ 0.19 K/(μΩcm) for x = 0 and 0.38 K/(μΩcm) for x = 0.05, respectively. In the Ni-doped compound (x = 0.05), the coexisting spin-vortex crystal (SVC) magnetic phase is suppressed at the rate of dTN/dρ(TN) ≈ 0.16 K/(μΩcm). The low-temperature variation of London penetration depth is well approximated by the power-law function, Δλ(T) = ATn, with n ≈ 2.5 for x = 0 and n ≈ 1.9 for x = 0.05 in the pristine state. Detailed analysis of λ(T) and Tc evolution with disorder is consistent with two effective nodeless energy gaps in the density of states due to robust s± pairing. Overall the behavior of CaK(Fe1–xNix)4As4 at x = 0 is similar to a slightly overdoped Ba1–yKyFe2As2 at y ≈ 0.5, and at x = 0.05 to an underdoped composition at y ≈ 0.2.
