Multigap superconductivity in pnictides

ORAL

Abstract

Point-contact Andreev reflection studies of the superconducting energy gap on the NdFeAsOF, (Ba,K)Fe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ and Ba(Fe,Co)$_{2}$As$_{2}$ crystals will be presented. The analysis of the data points to a two-gap superconductivity in these materials. Possible existence of the pseudogap in the non-superconducting density of states related to the static or dynamic magnetic order will be discussed as well.
