Observation of anisotropic diamagnetism above the superconducting transition in iron-pnictide Ba(1-x)KxFe2As2 single crystals due to thermodynamic fluctuations
Abstract
High resolution magnetization measurements performed in a high quality Ba(1-x)KxFe2As2 single crystal allowed to determine the diamagnetism induced above the superconducting transition by thermally activated Cooper pairs. These data, obtained with magnetic fields applied along and transverse to the crystal ab layers, demonstrate experimentally that the superconducting transition of iron pnictides may be explained at a phenomenological level in terms of the Gaussian Ginzburg-Landau approach for three-dimensional anisotropic superconductors.
