Observation of Multiple Superconducting Gaps in the Infrared Reflectivity Spectra of Ba(Fe0.9Co0.1)2As2

Abstract

The results of infrared reflectivity measurements for the iron-based high-temperature superconductor Ba(Fe0.9Co0.1)2As2 are reported. The reflectivity is found to be close to unity at frequencies w lower than 2Delta/h (2Delta is the superconducting gap and h is Planck's constant). This is evidence for the s+/- or s+/+ symmetry of the superconducting order parameter in the studied compound. The infrared reflectivity spectra of Ba(Fe0.9Co0.1)2As2 manifest opening of several superconducting gaps at temperatures lower than critical Tc.
