Abstract
In-plane resistivity measurements as a function of temperature, magnetic field, and its orientation with respect to the crystallographic plane were used to study the upper critical field, , of two overdoped compositions of the iron-based superconductor Ba(FeNi)As, and . Measurements were performed using precise alignment (with accuracy less than 0.1) of magnetic field with respect to the Fe-As plane. The dependence of the on angle between the field and the plane was measured in isothermal conditions in a broad temperature range. We found that the shape of clearly deviates from the Ginzburg-Landau functional form.
