Anisotropy dependence of the fluctuation spectroscopy in the critical and gaussian regimes in superconducting NaFe1−xCo x As single crystals. Sci Rep 8, 8556 (2018). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-26939-8http://hdl.handle.net/10347/22056We investigate thermal fluctuations in terms of diamagnetism and magnetotransport in superconducting NaFe1−xCo x As single crystals with different doping levels. Results show that in the case of optimal doped and lightly overdoped (x = 0.03, 0.05) crystals the analysis in the critical as well as in the Gaussian fluctuation regions is consistent with the Ginzburg-Landau 3D fluctuation theory. However, in the case of strongly overdoped samples (x ≥ 0.07) the Ullah-Dorsey scaling of the fluctuation induced magnetoconductivity in the critical region confirms that thermal fluctuations exhibit a 3D anisotropic nature only in a narrow temperature region around T c (H). This is consistent with the fact that in these samples the fluctuation effects in the Gaussian region above Tc may be described by the Lawrence-Doniach approach. Our results indicate that the anisotropy of these materials increases significantly with the doping leveleng© The Author(s) 2018. Open Access.
