Abstract
We present the evolution of the initial (up to 10 kbar) hydrostatic pressure dependencies of and of the ambient pressure jump in the heat capacity associated with the superconducting transition as a function of K doping in the BaKFeAs family of iron-based superconductors. The pressure derivatives show a weak but distinct anomaly near . In the same concentration region, deviates from the scaling found for most BaFeAs-based superconductors. These results are consistent with a possible significant modification of the superconducting state, occurring near .
