摘要
We report an investigation on c-axis point-contact Andreev reflection (PCAR) spectroscopy of optimally doped BaFe1.9Ni0.1As2 single crystals. The PCAR spectrum features the structures of a conductance peak with the energy scale of an electron-boson coupling mode. Quantitative analysis using a generalized Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk formalism with two gaps-one isotropic and another angle dependent-resolves a nodeless state in the strong-coupling limit with gap minima on the Fermi surfaces. Using the extracted superconducting energy gap value, a characteristic boson energy Omega(b) is obtained. Our results are consistent with the pairing interaction mediated by the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations.
