Abstract

We study a Fe1+yTe0.6Se0.4 multiband superconductor with Tc=14K by polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopy. Deep in the superconducting state, we detect pair-breaking excitation at 2Δ=5.6meV in the XY(B2g) scattering geometry, consistent with the fundamental gap energy Δ=3meV revealed by ARPES on the holelike Fermi pocket with dxz/dyz character. We analyze the superconductivity-induced phonon self-energy effects for the B1g(Fe) phonon mode and derive the electron-phonon coupling constant λΓ≈0.026, which is insufficient to explain superconductivity with Tc=14K.
