Pinning in CaFe2−xCoxAs2 and Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2 single crystals as studied by MWA — •Nadezda Panarina1,2, Niyaz Beysengulov1, Yuri Talanov1, Tatyana Shaposhnikova1, Evgenia Vavilova1, Luminita Harnagea2, Saicharan Aswartham2, Claudia Nacke2, Sabine Wurmehl2, Christian Hess2, Vladislav Kataev2, and Bernd Büchner21Zavoisky Physical-Technical Institute, Kazan, Russia — 2IFW Dresden, Germany

Modulated microwave absorption studies were performed on a series of CaFe2−xCoxAs2 and Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2 single crystals with different Co content. Investigation of pinning features in these samples is of particular interest since there is a significantly wide region of Co concentration, where the superconducting and magnetic orders coexist. Depending on the scale of such electron phase separation, the nonsuperconducting inclusions present in the samples at certain Co concentration may act as additional pinning centers and influence the pinning strength. To estimate the values of the critical current density, an appropriate theoretical model was applied. By analyzing the magnetic field and temperature dependence of the critical current density, we were able to discriminate different types of pinning (small-bundle and large-bundle pinning) in single crystals of CaFe2−xCoxAs2 and Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2. The most effective pinning centers are present in the CaFe2−xCoxAs2 sample at Co concentration corresponding to the boundary of the coexistence of SDW and superconductivity states. This is due to the best correlation of the sizes of additional nonsuperconducting inclusions with the sizes of vortex cores.
