Temperature dependent resistivity in hole-doped Ba<sub>1−x</sub>K<sub>x</sub>Fe<sub>2</sub>As<sub>2</sub> subject to electron irradiation

ORAL

Abstract

Temperature dependence of in-plane and inter-plane electrical resistivity was studied in single crystals of hole doped iron based superconductor Ba1−xKxFe2As2 (0≤x≤1). Low temperature (20 K) irradiation with relativistic 2.5 MeV electrons was used to control residual resistivity of the samples. Matthiessen rule is found to be universally violated for all compositions and for both current flow directions. This is in stark contrast with electron doped Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2 [1] and iso-electron substituted BaFe2(As1−xPx)2 [2].
Possible reasons for Matthiessen rule violation are discussed.
