Second magnetization peak, anomalous field penetration, and Josephson vortices in KCa $$_2$$ 2 Fe $$_4$$ 4 As $$_4$$ 4 F $$_2$$ 2 bilayer pnictide superconductor

Abstract We performed magnetization measurements in a single crystal of the anisotropic bilayer pnictide superconductor KCa $$_2$$ 2 Fe $$_4$$ 4 As $$_4$$ 4 F $$_2$$ 2 , with $$T_c\;$$ T c $$\simeq$$ ≃ 34 K, for $$H$$ H $$\parallel$$ ‖ $$c$$ c -axis and $$H$$ H $$\parallel$$ ‖ $$ab$$ ab -planes. A s...
