文摘

A comprehensive study of upper critical and irreversibility magnetic fields in Ba(Fe<sub>0.95sub>Ni<sub>0.05sub>)<sub>2sub>As<sub>2sub>(large grain and small grain samples) and Ba(Fe<sub>0.94sub>Ni<sub>0.06sub>)<sub>2sub>As<sub>2sub>, polycrystalline bulk pnictide superconductors was made in pulsed fields of up to 65 T. The full magnetic field-temperature (H − T) phase diagrams, starting at 1.5 K, were obtained. The higher temperature, upper critical field H<sub>c2sub> data are well described by the one-band Werthamer, Helfand, and Hohenberg (WHH) model. The large values of the Maki parameter α indicate that the Zeeman pair breaking dominates over the orbital pair breaking and spin-paramagnetic pair-breaking effect is significant in these materials. At low temperatures, the experimental data depart from the fitted WHH curves, suggesting an emergence of a new phase that could be attributed to the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state. Possible multi-band structure of these materials is lumped into effective parameters of the single-band model.
