Title: Analysis of the London penetration depth in Ni-doped CaKFe 4 As 4

Abstract

We report combined experimental and theoretical analysis of superconductivity in CaK(Fe1-xNix)4As4 (CaK1144) for $x = 0$, 0.017, and 0.034. To obtain the superfluid density $$ρ = [1 + Δλ_L$$($$T$)/$$λ_L(0)]^{-2}$$, the temperature dependence of the London penetration depth $$Δλ_L$$ ($$T$$) was measured by using a tunnel-diode resonator (TDR) and the results agreed with the microwave coplanar resonator (MWR) with the small differences accounted for by considering a three orders of magnitude higher frequency of MWR. The absolute value of $$λ_L (T«T_c) ≈ λ_L (0)$$ was measured by using MWR, $$λ_L (5 K) ≈ 170 ± 20$$ nm, which agreed well with the NV centers in diamond optical magnetometry that gave $$λ_L (5 K) ≈ 196 ± 12$$ nm. The experimental results are analyzed within the Eliashberg theory, showing that the superconductivity of CaK1144 is well described by the nodeless $$s_±$$ order parameter and that upon Ni doping the interband interaction increases.
