Evidence for two superconducting energy gaps in MgB(2) by point-contact spectroscopy.
Experimental support is found for the multiband model of the superconductivity in the recently discovered system MgB(2) with the transition temperature T(c) = 39 K. By means of Andreev reflection, evidence is obtained for two distinct superconducting energy gaps. The sizes of the two gaps ( Delta(S) = 2.8 meV and Delta(L) = 7 meV) are, respectively, smaller and larger than the expected weak cou...
متن کاملSecond superconducting energy gap of Nb3Sn observed by breakjunction point-contact spectroscopy
We report on investigations of the superconducting energy gap of the A15 superconductor Nb3Sn by pointcontact spectroscopy of breakjunctions. The voltage-dependent differential conductance dI /dV reveals features of a second energy gap besides the energy gap known from previous tunnel measurements with maxima at 1=3.92 0.16 meV and 2=0.85 0.17 meV as derived from a histogram summarizing the dat...
متن کاملTunneling spectroscopy in small grains of superconducting MgB(2).
We report on tunneling spectroscopy experiments in small grains of the new binary intermetallic superconductor MgB(2). Experiments have been performed at 2.5 K using a low temperature scanning tunneling microscope. Good fit to the BCS model is obtained, with a gap value of 2 meV. In the framework of this model, this value should correspond to a surface critical temperature of 13.2 K. No evidenc...
متن کاملEvidence for a multiple superconducting gap in MgB(2) from high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy.
We study the new binary intermetallic superconductor MgB(2) using high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy. The superconducting-state spectrum measured at 5.4 K shows a coherent peak with a shoulder structure, in sharp contrast to that expected from a simple isotropic-gap opening. The spectrum can be well reproduced using the weighted sum of two Dynes functions with the gap sizes of 1.7 and 5...
متن کاملEvidence of gap anisotropy in superconducting YNi2B2C using directional point-contact spectroscopy.
We present a study of the anisotropy in the superconducting energy gap in a single crystal of YNi2B2C (T(c) approximately 14.6 K) using directional point-contact spectroscopy. The superconducting energy gap at 2.7 K, when measured for I||c, is 4.5 times larger than that for I||a. The energy gaps in the two directions also have different temperature dependences. Our results support a scenario wi...
