Possible Evidence for Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless Transition in Ba(Fe0.914Co0.086)(2)As-2 Crystals

In this study, we measure the in-plane transport properties of high-quality Ba(Fe0.914Co0.086)(2)As-2 single crystals. Signatures of vortex unbinding Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition are shown from both the conventional approach and the Fisher-Fisher-Huse dynamic scaling analysis, in which a characteristic Nelson-Kosterlitz jump is demonstrated. We also observe a non-Hall transverse signal exactly at the superconducting transition, which is explained in terms of guided motion of unbound vortices.
