ABSTRACT
A comprehensive study of superconducting properties of underdoped NaFe0.979Co0.021As single crystals by a combination of upper critical field measurements and incoherent multiple Andreev reflection effect (IMARE) spectroscopy is presented. The Hc2(T) temperature dependences are measured at magnetic fields up to 16 T with in-plane and out-of-plane field directions and considered within single-band and two-band models in order to estimate the Hc2(0) value. In IMARE spectroscopy probes, the magnitude, characteristic ratio, and temperature dependence of the superconducting order parameters (ΔL,S(T)) are determined locally and directly. A possible k-space anisotropy of the large superconducting gap is demonstrated. We show that usage of a quadruple of λij0 coupling constants obtained in the IMARE experiment can significantly reduce the number of free parameters required to fit the Hc2(T) dependence within a two-band approach (from six to two).
