Title: Doping evolution of the anisotropic upper critical fields in the iron-based superconductor Ba_1-xK_xFe₂As₂

Abstract

In-plane resistivity measurements as a function of temperature and magnetic field up to 35 T with precise orientation within the crystallographic ac plane were used to study the upper critical field H_c2 of the hole-doped iron-based superconductor Ba_1–xK_xFe₂As₂. Compositions of the samples studied spanned from under- doped x=0.17 (T_c=12 K) and x=0.22 (T_c=20 K), both in the coexistence range of stripe magnetism and superconductivity, through optimal doping x=0.39 (T_c=38.4 K) and x=0.47 (T_c=37.2 K), to overdoped x=0.65 (T_c=22 K) and x=0.83 (T_c=10 K). Here, we find notable doping asymmetry of the shapes of the anisotropic H_c2(T), suggesting the important role of paramagnetic limiting effects in the H∥a configuration in overdoped compositions and multiband effects in underdoped compositions.

Comprehensive scenario for single-crystal growth and doping dependence of resistivity and anisotropic upper critical fields in (Ba1-xKx)Fe2As2 (0.22 <= X <= 1)

Journal Article Liu, Y ; Tanatar, M A ; Straszheim, W E ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Large high-quality single crystals of hole-doped iron-based superconductor (Ba1-xKx)Fe2As2 were grown over a broad composition range 0.22 <= x <= 1 by inverted temperature gradient method. We found that high soaking temperature, fast cooling rate, and an adjusted temperature window of the growth are necessary to obtain single crystals of heavily K-doped crystals (0.65 <= x <= 0.92) with narrow compositional distributions as revealed by sharp superconducting transitions in magnetization measurements and close to 100% superconducting volume fraction. The crystals were extensively characterized by x-ray and compositional analysis, revealing monotonic evolution of the c-axis crystal lattice parameter with K substitution.more »« less

Specific heat to H_c2: Evidence for nodes or deep minima in the superconducting gap of underdoped and overdoped Ba(Fe_1–xCo_x)₂As₂

Journal Article Kim, J. S. ; Faeth, B. D. ; Wang, Y. ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Low-temperature specific heat, C, in magnetic fields up to H_c2 is reported for underdoped Ba(Fe₀.₉₅₅Co₀.₀₄₅)₂As₂ (T_c = 8 K) and for three overdoped samples Ba(Fe₁₋_xCo_x)₂As₂ (x = 0.103, 0.13, and 0.15; T_c = 17.2, 16.5, and 11.7 K, respectively). Previous measurements of thermal conductivity (as a function of temperature and field) and penetration depth on comparable-composition samples gave some disagreement as to whether there was fully gapped/nodal behavior in the under-/overdoped materials, respectively. The present work shows that the measured behavior of the specific heat γ (∝C/T as T → 0, i.e., a measure of the electronic density of statesmore »« less

Doping evolution of the second magnetization peak and magnetic relaxation in $(B a_{1 - x} K_{x}) F e_{2} A s_{2}$ single crystals

Journal Article Liu, Yong ; Zhou, Lin ; Sun, Kewei ; ... - Physical Review B

Here, we present a thorough study of doping dependent magnetic hysteresis and relaxation characteristics in single crystals of (Ba_1-xK_x) Fe₂As₂ (0.18 ≤ x ≤ 1). The critical current density J_c reaches maximum in the underdoped sample x = 0.26 and then decreases in the optimally doped and overdoped samples. Meanwhile, the magnetic relaxation rate S rapidly increases and the flux creep activation barrier U₀ sharply decreases in the overdoped sample x = 0.70. These results suggest that vortex pinning is very strong in the underdoped regime, but it is greatly reduced in the optimally doped and overdoped regime. Transmission electronmore »« less

We report on the results of analyzing the temperature dependences of the resistivity of the Nd{sub 2-x}Ce{sub x}CuO{sub 4+{delta}} electronic superconductor with x = 0.14 (underdoped range), x = 0.15 (optimal doping), and x = 0.18 (overdoped range) and with various degrees of annealing in an oxygen-free atmosphere in magnetic fields up to H = 90 kOe (H Double-Vertical-Line c, J Double-Vertical-Line ab) in the temperature range T = (0.4-300) K. It is shown that the observed differences in the dependences of the slope of the upper critical field dH{sub c2}/dT)|{sub Tc} on the degree of disorder in the Nd{submore »« less

Specific heat investigation for line nodes in heavily overdoped Ba_1-xK_xFe₂As₂

Journal Article Kim, J. S. ; Stewart, G. R. ; Liu, Yong ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Previous research has found that the pairing symmetry in the iron-based superconductor Ba_1-xK_xFe₂As₂ changes from nodeless s-wave near optimally doped, x≈0.4-0.55 and T_c>30 K, to nodal (either d-wave or s-wave) at the pure endpoint, x=1 and T_c<4 K. Intense theoretical interest has been focused on this possibility of changing pairing symmetry, where in the transition region both order parameters would be present and time reversal symmetry would be broken. Here we report specific heat measurements in zero and applied magnetic fields down to 0.4 K of three individual single crystals, free of low temperature magnetic anomalies, of heavily overdoped Ba_1-xK_xFe₂As₂,more »« less
