Upper critical magnetic field in K0.83Fe1.83Se2 and Eu0.5K0.5Fe2As2 single crystals
The H-T phase diagrams of single crystalline electron-doped K0.83Fe1.83Se2
(KFS1), K0.8Fe2Se2 (KFS2) and hole-doped Eu0.5K0.5Fe2As2 (EKFA) have been
deduced from tunnel diode oscillator-based contactless measurements in pulsed
magnetic fields up to 57 T for the inter-plane (H//c) and in-plane (H//ab)
directions. The temperature dependence of the upper critical magnetic field
Hc2(T) relevant to EFKA is accounted for by the Pauli model including an
anisotropic Pauli paramagnetic contribution (\mu_BHp=114 T for H//ab and 86 T
for H//c). This is also the case of KFS1 and KFS2 for H//ab whereas a
significant upward curvature, accounted for by a two-gap model, is observed for
H//c. Despite the presence of antiferromagnetic lattice order within the
superconducting state of the studied compounds, no influence of magnetic
ordering on the temperature dependence of Hc2(T) is observed.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with
