Abstract

Using multiple Andreev reflection spectroscopy, we studied superconductor–normal metal–superconductor semiballistic contacts with incoherent transport in overdoped pnictide superconductors BaFe1.86Ni0.14As2 with critical temperature Tc≈12K. We directly determined an anisotropic large gap with the characteristic ratios 2ΔLout(0)/kBTc≈6 and 2ΔLin(0)/kBTc≈4, almost isotropic small gap with 2ΔS(0)/kBTc≈2, and the temperature dependence of the resolved superconducting order parameters. Above the large gap position 2ΔL, a fine dI(V)/dV structure fully vanishing at Tc and possibly caused by a resonant coupling with a bosonic mode was observed.
