Large increase of the anisotropy factor in the overdoped region of Ba(Fe${}_{1-x}$Ni${}_x$)${}_2$As${}_2$ as probed by fluctuation spectroscopy

Abstract

We study the diamagnetism induced by thermal fluctuations above the superconducting transition of the iron pnictide Ba(Fe${}_{1-x}$Ni${}_x$)${}_2$As${}_2$ with different doping levels. The measurements are performed with magnetic fields up to 7 T applied in the two main crystal directions. These data provide double information: first, they confirm at a quantitative level the applicability to these materials of a 3D-anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau approach valid in the finite field regime. Then, they allow to determine the doping-level dependence of the in-plane coherence length and of the superconducting anisotropy factor, $\gamma$. Our results provide a stringent confirmation of the large increase of $\gamma$ with the doping level, as recently proposed from magnetoresistivity measurements. The implications of the applicability of the model used to a multiband superconductor are discussed.
