摘要:

使用隧道二极管谐振器在Ba $_{1-x}$ K $_x$ Fe $_2$ As $_2$的单晶中测量平面内伦敦穿透深度$Δλ(T)$,其中$x$具有五个掺杂水平,从欠掺杂$T_c$ =11 K($x$ =0.17)到最佳掺杂$T_c=$ 38 K($x_\textmd{\scriptsize opt}$ = 0.35)。在最佳掺杂的样品中,$Δλ(T)$在$T \to 0$极限下表现出指数饱和,表明完全带隙的超导性。最低- $T_c$样品显示出强得多的$Δλ(T)$的非指数变化。拟合数据的幂律,$Δλ(T)= AT^n$,揭示了一个单调下降的指数$n$与$x$朝向欠掺杂的边缘的超导圆顶。比较与$n \approx 1.2$报告在KFe $_2$作为$_2$($T_c$ =3.5 K,$x=$ 1),表明一个圆顶状的变化$n$与$x$,这意味着一个演变的拓扑结构的超导能隙从充分和各向同性的中心的圆顶强烈的各向异性,并最终在圆顶的边缘节点。

英文摘要:

The in-plane London penetration depth, $Δλ(T)$, was measured using a tunnel diode resonator in single crystals of Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$ for five doping levels $x$ ranging from underdoped, $T_c$=11 K ($x$=0.17), to optimally doped, $T_c=$38 K ($x_\textmd{\scriptsize opt}$= 0.35). In the optimally doped samples, $Δλ(T)$ shows exponential saturation in $T \to 0$ limit suggesting a fully gapped superconductivity. The lowest-$T_c$ samples show much stronger non-exponential variation of $Δλ(T)$. Fitting the data to a power-law, $Δλ(T)= AT^n$, reveals a monotonic decrease of the exponent $n$ with $x$ towards the underdoped edge of the superconducting dome. Comparison with $n \approx 1.2$ reported in KFe$_2$As$_2$ ($T_c$=3.5 K, $x=$ 1), suggests a dome-like variation of $n$ with $x$, implying an evolution of the topology of the superconducting gap from full and isotropic in the center of the dome towards strongly anisotropic and, eventually, nodal at the dome edges.
