چکیده

We present detailed heat capacity measurements for Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2 and Ba(Fe1−xNix)2As2 single crystals in the vicinity of the superconducting transitions. The specific-heat jump at the superconducting transition temperature (Tc), ΔCp/Tc, changes by a factor of ∼10 across these series. The ΔCp/Tc vs Tc data of this work [together with the literature data for Ba(Fe0.939Co0.061)2As2, (Ba0.55K0.45)Fe2As2, and (Ba0.6K0.4)Fe2As2] scale well to a single log-log plot over two orders of magnitude in ΔCp/Tc and over about an order of magnitude in Tc, giving ΔCp/Tc∝T2c.

Effect of Electron Irradiation on Superconductivity in Single Crystals of Ba(Fe1â‹TMxRux)2As2 (x=0.24)

A single crystal of isovalently substituted Ba(Fe1−xRux)2As2 (x=0.24) is sequentially irradiated with 2.5 MeV electrons up to a maximum dose of 2.1×1019 e−/cm2. The electrical resistivity is measuredin situ at T=22 K during the irradiation and ex situ as a function of temperature between subsequent irradiation runs. Upon irradiation, the superconducting transition temperature Tc decreases and t...

Magnetoelastic coupling and charge correlation lengths in a twin domain of Ba(Fe1â‹TMxCox)2As2 (x=0.047): A high-resolution x-ray diffraction study

The interplay between structure, magnetism, and superconductivity in single crystal Ba(Fe 1−x Co x) 2 As 2 (x = 0.047) has been studied using high-resolution x-ray diffraction by monitoring charge Bragg reflections in each twin domain separately. The emergence of the superconducting state is correlated with the suppression of the orthorhombic distortion around T C , exhibiting competition betwe...

Calorimetric evidence for nodes in the overdoped Ba(Fe0.9Co0.1)2As2

We present low-temperature specific heat of the electron-doped Ba(Fe0.9Co0.1)2As2, which does not show any indication of an upturn down to 400mK, the lowest measuring temperature. The lack of a Schottky-like feature at low temperatures or in magnetic fields up to 9 T enables us to identify enhanced low-temperature quasiparticle excitations and to study anisotropy in the linear term of the speci...

Fermi surfaces and phase stability of Ba(Fe1â‹TMxMx)2As2 (M=Co,Ni,Cu,Zn)

BaFe2As2 with transition-metal doping exhibits a variety of rich phenomena from the coupling of structure, magnetism, and superconductivity. Using density functional theory, we systematically compare the Fermi surfaces (FSs), formation energies (ΔEf), and densities of states (DOSs) of electron-doped Ba(Fe1−xMx)2As2 with M={Co,Ni,Cu,Zn} in tetragonal (I4/mmm) and orthorhombic (Fmmm) structures i...

Determination of the phase diagram of the electron-doped superconductor Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2

Systematic measurements of the resistivity, heat capacity, susceptibility, and Hall coefficient are presented for single-crystal samples of the electron-doped superconductor Ba Fe1−xCox 2As2. These data delineate an x-T phase diagram in which the single magnetic/structural phase transition that is observed for undoped BaFe2As2 at 134 K appears to split into two distinct phase transitions, both ...
