London penetration depth in Ba(Fe${}_{1-x}$T${}_x$)${}_2$As${}_2$ (T=Co, Ni) superconductors irradiated with heavy ions

Abstract

Irradiation with Pb ions was used to study the effect of disorder on the in-plane London penetration depth, $\lambda (T)$, in single crystals of Ba(Fe${}_{1-x}$T${}_x$)${}_2$As${}_2$ (T=Co, Ni). An increase of the irradiation dose results in a monotonic decrease of the superconducting transition temperature, $T_c$, without affecting much the transition width. In both Co and Ni doped systems we find a power-law behavior, $\Delta \lambda (T)\propto T^n$, with the exponent $n$ systematically decreasing with the increase of disorder. This observation, supported by the theoretical analysis, conclusively points to a nodeless $s^{\pm }$ state with pairbreaking impurity scattering (interband) with strength being intermediate between Born and unitary limits.
