Effect of doping on the specific heat jump in iron-based superconductors

In this talk we present a theoretical description of the jump of the specific heat at the transition to a superconducting phase of iron-based pnictides. We discuss both the overdoped regime, when the transition occurs between non-magnetic and superconducting phases, and the underdoped regime, when superconductivity emerges from a pre-emptive SDW phase. Both effects lead to a qualitatively similar phase diagram as a function of doping, but details differ. We presume that doping simultaneously modifies the Fermi surface of pnictides and introduces disorder. By fitting the transition temperatures for the SDW and SC phases, we establish the relative strengths of the the rigid band shift caused by doping and doping-induced disorder. We then evaluate the specific heat jump as a function of doping. Our theory is consistent with measurements made by Karlsruhe group of the specific heat jump in $\mathrm{BaFe}_{2}\mathrm{As}_{2}$ compounds with $\mathrm{K}$- and $\mathrm{Co}$-doping.
