Abstract
We present the first study of codoped iron-arsenide superconductors of the 122 family (Sr/Ba)1-xKxFe2-yCoyAs2 with the purpose to increase the upper critical field Hc2 compared to single doped Sr/BaFe2As2 materials. Hc2 was investigated by measuring the magnetoresistance in high pulsed magnetic fields up to 64 T. We find, that Hc2 extrapolated to T=0 is indeed enhanced significantly to ≈ 90 T for polycrystalline samples of Ba0.55K0.45Fe1.95Co0.05As2 compared to ≈75 T for Ba0.55K0.45Fe2As2 and BaFe1.8Co0.2As2 single crystals. Codoping thus is a promising way for the systematic optimization of iron-arsenic based superconductors for magnetic-field and high-current applications.
