Two hole-like Fermi surface sheets around the F point exhibit different superconducting gaps. The inner Fermi surface sheet shows larger （10 - 12 meV） and slightly momentum-dependent gap while the outer one has smaller （7 - 8 meV） and nearly isotropic gap. The lack of gap node in both Fermi surface sheets favours s-wave superconducting gap symmetry. Superconducting gap opening is also observed at the M（π, π） point. The two Fermi surface spots near the M point are gapped below Tc but the gap persists above Tc. The rich and detailed superconducting gap information will provide key insights and constraints in understanding pairing mechanism in the iron-based superconductors.展开更多

It is found that the parent LaFeAsO compound shows a metallic character. By extensive measurements, several common features are identified in the electronic structure of these Fe-based compounds： （1） 0.2 eV feature in the valence band, （2） a universal 13-16 meV feature, （3） near EF spectral weight suppression with decreasing temperature. These uni- versal features can provide important information about band structure, superconducting gap and pseudogap in these Fe-based materials.展开更多

We describe in detail the growth and annealing procedures and the characterization and physical property measurements of the Pb-Bi2201 crystals. The availability of these crystals provides a good opportunity to experimentally investigate high-To cuprate superconductors, particularly in the overdoped region.展开更多
