We investigate the electronic specific heat of overdoped BaFe2(As1−xPx)2 single crystals in the superconducting state using high-resolution nanocalorimetry. From the measurements, we extract the doping dependence of the condensation energy, superconducting gap Δ, and related microscopic parameters. We find that the anomalous scaling of the specific heat jump ΔC∝Tc3, found in many iron-based superconductors, in this system originates from a Tc-dependent ratio Δ/kBTc in combination with a doping-dependent density of states N(εF). A clear enhancement is seen in the effective mass m∗ as the composition approaches the value that has been associated with a quantum critical point at optimum doping. However, a simultaneous increase in the superconducting carrier concentration ns maintains the superfluid density, yielding an apparent penetration depth λ that decreases with increasing Tc without sharp divergence at the quantum critical point. Uemura scaling indicates that Tc is governed by the Fermi temperature TF for this multi-band system.
