چکیده

We perform scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy study on the layered iron based superconductor KCa$_2$Fe$_4$As$_4$F$_2$ with a critical temperature of about 33.5 K. Two types terminated surfaces are generally observed after cleaving samples in vacuum. On one commonly obtained surface, we observe full gap feature energy values close to 4.6 meV. This type spectrum shows clean and uniform space, which indicates absence nodes this superconductor. Quasiparticle interference patterns have also been measured, show no scattering between hole tiny electron pockets, but rather an intra-band pattern is possibly due hole-like $\alpha$ pocket. The Fermi band only $24\pm6$ meV as derived from dispersion result. Meanwhile, impurity induced bound-state peaks can be at $\pm2.2$ some spectra, peak value seems independent magnetic field. second surface rarely obtained, fully gapped still although multiple gaps either single or separate ones, determined coherence locate mainly range 4 8 Our results clearly indicate nodeless superconducting nature KCa$_2$Fe$_4$As$_4$F$_2$, superfluid contributed by near $\Gamma$ point. would inspire further consideration effect shallow incipient bands M point, help understand pairing mechanism highly iron-based

Superconducting properties of the Fe-based layered superconductor LaFeAsO0.9F0.1-delta.

We have employed a new route to synthesize single phase F-doped LaOFeAs compound and confirmed the superconductivity above 20 K in this Fe-based system. We show that the new superconductor has a rather high upper critical field of over 50 T. A clear signature of superconducting gap opening below T(c) was observed in the far-infrared reflectance spectra, with 2Delta/kT(c) approximately 3.5-4.2. ...

Tunneling spectroscopy in the magnetic superconductor

We present new measurements about the tunneling conductance in the borocarbide superconductor TmNi2B2C. The results show a very good agreement with weak coupling BCS theory, without any lifetime broadening parameter, over the whole sample surface. We detect no particular change of the tunneling spectroscopy below 1.5K, when both the antiferromagnetic (AF) phase and the superconducting order coe...

Unconventional anisotropic s-wave superconducting gaps of the LiFeAs iron-pnictide superconductor.

We have performed high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on Fe-based superconductor LiFeAs (T(c)=18 K). We reveal multiple nodeless superconducting (SC) gaps with 2Δ/k(B)T(c) ratios varying from 2.8 to 6.4, depending on the Fermi surface (FS). We also succeeded in directly observing a gap anisotropy along the FS with magnitude up to ~30%. The anisotropy is fourfold symmetric ...

Scanning tunneling spectroscopy and vortex imaging in the iron pnictide superconductor BaFe1.8Co0.2As2.

We present an atomic resolution scanning tunneling spectroscopy study of superconducting BaFe1.8Co0.2As2 single crystals in magnetic fields up to 9 T. At zero field, a single gap with coherence peaks at Delta=6.25 meV is observed in the density of states. At 9 and 6 T, we image a disordered vortex lattice, consistent with isotropic, single flux quantum vortices. Vortex locations are uncorrelate...

Orbital-independent superconducting gaps in iron pnictides.

The origin of superconductivity in the iron pnictides has been attributed to antiferromagnetic spin ordering that occurs in close combination with a structural transition, but there are also proposals that link superconductivity to orbital ordering. We used bulk-sensitive laser angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on BaFe(2)(As(0.65)P(0.35))(2) and Ba(0.6)K(0.4)Fe(2)As(2) to elucidate the ...
