Abstract

We performed combined infrared reflection and ellipsometry measurements of the in-plane optical response of single crystals of the pnictide high-temperature superconductor BaFe1.87Co0.13As2 with Tc=24.5 K. Our experimental data provide evidence for multiple superconducting energy gaps and can be well described in terms of three isotropic gaps with 2Δ/kBTc of 3.1, 4.7, and 9.2. The obtained low-temperature value of the in-plane magnetic penetration depth is 270 nm.
