Iron pnictides represent a new class of multiband superconductors which offer new possibilities for studying the interplay between magnetism and superconductivity. In these materials, solid experimental evidence for any particular pairing state remains elusive because several probes point to different conclusions. Some of these apparent contradictions may arise from the influence of the magnetic instability, which is expected to strongly alter the gap topology, from impurity effects, or from experimental difficulties like sample inhomogeneities. Here, we present a critical analysis of our own specific-heat and thermal expansion-data, realized on high-quality flux-grown Co-doped 122 single crystals, for doping levels that cover the entire phase diagram.
