Abstract

To probe manifestations of multiband superconductivity in oxypnictides, we measured the angular dependence of the magnetic torque τ(θ) in the mixed state of LaO0.9F0.1FeAs single crystals as a function of temperature T and magnetic fields H up to 18 T. The paramagnetic contribution of the Fe ions is properly treated in order to extract the effective mass anisotropy parameter γ=(mc/mab)1/2 from τ(θ). We show that γ depends strongly on both T and H, reaching a maximum value of ~10 followed by a decrease toward values close to 1 as T is lowered. The observed field dependencies of the London penetration depth λab and γ suggest the onset of suppression of a superconducing gap at H≈Hc2/3.
