Effects of the order parameter symmetries on the cutoff parameter ξh (determining the magnetic field distribution) in the mixed state are investigated in the framework of quasiclassical Eilenberger theory for isotropic s±, s++ and anisotropic dx2-y2-wave superconducting pairings. These symmetries are proposed for the pairing state of the Fe -pnictides. In s± pairing symmetry, the gap function has opposite sign at the electron and hole pockets of the Fermi surface, it is connected with interband antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations. In s++ pairing symmetry, the gap function has the same sign at the Fermi surface, it is mediated by moderate electron–phonon interaction due to Fe -ion oscillation and the critical orbital fluctuation. The dx2-y2 pairing symmetry can rise from intraband antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation in strongly hole overdoped iron pnictide KFe 2 As 2 and ternary chalcogenides. The s± pairing symmetry results in different effects of intraband (Γ0) and interband (Γπ) impurity scattering on ξh. It is found that ξh/ξc2 value decreases with Γ0 leading to the values much less than those predicted by the analytical Ginzburg–Landau (AGL) theory for high Γ0. At very high Γ0, the interband scattering suppresses ξh/ξc2 considerably below one in the whole field range making it flat for both s± and s++ pairing symmetries. Scaling of the cutoff parameter with the electromagnetic coherence length shows the importance of the nonlocal effects in mixed state. The small values of ξh/ξc2 were observed in μSR measurements of Co -doped BaFe 2 As 2. If Γ0 and Γπ are small and equal than the ξh/ξc2(B/Bc2) dependence for s± symmetry behaves like that of the AGL model and shows a minimum with value much more than that obtained for s++ superconductors. With high Γπ, the ξh/ξc2(B/Bc2) dependence resides above the AGL curve for s± pairing symmetry, as observed in SANS measurements of stoichiometrical LiFeAs compound. In d-wave superconductors, ξh/ξc2 always increases with Γ similar to the s± symmetry case with Γ0 = Γπ.
